Piotr Pióro, Oskar Bober, Peter Ljung, Patryk Rolnicki and Kenneth Hansen have already signed contracts with Grupa Azoty. Troy Batchelor is to sign a contract with the company soon.

Shortly after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the Management Board of Grupa Azoty S.A. withdrew from negotiations with Unia Tarnów’s Russian riders, who were subsequently banned from competing in motor sports by the Main Commission of Speedway Sport. As a result of this decision, Grupa Azoty – after making arrangements with Unia Tarnów representatives – will sign additional contracts with Tero Aarnio and Stanisław Burza, who is the club’s coach.

Grupa Azoty has also obtained the corporate approvals to sign an agreement with Unia Tarnów
under which support will be provided to Unia Tarnów junior team riders: Piotr Świercz, Mateusz Gzyl and Patryk Zieliński. The agreement stipulates that Grupa Azoty will be the main partner of the club in the upcoming season.

‘By signing the new contracts with Unia Tarnów speedway riders and junior team riders Grupa Azoty S.A. delivers on its commitment to continue supporting the Unia Tarnów speedway club. We believe that the 2022 season will give the club’s fans and supporters plenty of memorable sporting thrills and excitement,’ said Tomasz Hinc, President of the Management Board of Grupa Azoty S.A.

‘On my own behalf as well as on behalf of the Management Board and all the fans of Unia Tarnów, I would like to thank the Management Board of Grupa Azoty S.A. for continuing to be the clubs’ main partner for the next season. I am convinced that our joint agreement and cooperation model will ensure stability of the club’s operation and development of young riders and motorcycle speedway in our town. I believe that by signing the agreement with our long-term Main Partner we stress the importance of opening a new chapter with #NowaUnia as its motto, and that Unia Tarnów will soon be back among the best speedway clubs in the world,’ said Daniel Bałut, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Unia Tarnów ŻSSA.
