As part of the collaboration, Grupa Azoty S.A. has become the Main Partner of ZKS Unia Tarnów for the coming year. Under the agreement, the Company will sponsor a seniors team and a football academy club that provide training to 350 participants aged between 3 and 18.
ZKS Unia Tarnów Sports Club is a continuation of the Mościce Sports Society founded on the initiative of employees of the predecessor of Grupa Azoty S.A. in 1928. Grupa Azoty has supported the ZKS Unia Tarnów Sports Club almost continuously since its inception.
Grupa Azoty’s financial commitment will largely involve the training of children and youth across many age groups.
As a company firmly rooted in the regions where its production plants are located, Grupa Azoty supports top athletes but also amateurs, children and youth. Engaging in the development of young talent is an element of the Company’s corporate social responsibility strategy.
‘An important element of the new agreement with ZKS Unia Tarnów is coaching children and youth. We can see the potential in young athletes expressed in their commitment and passion for the sports activities led by their parents and caretakers. The Company will continue to support their development and watch them take their first steps on the football ground wearing jerseys with the logo of Grupa Azoty. We hope this collaboration will enable us and Tarnów residents to enjoy strong performance of the seniors team,’ said Tomasz Hinc, President of the Management Board of Grupa Azoty S.A.
The agreement largely focuses our efforts on training. We believe that in the long run promoting youth will pay off for Unia Tarnów also in terms of sports performance, and the young players bearing the swallow logo and Grupa Azoty branding on their jerseys will be a source of great joy to us,’ said Artur Szklarz, President of the Management Board of ZKS Unia Tarnów Sports Club.
One of the examples of successful collaboration between Grupa Azoty and ZKS Unia Tarnów is the story of Wiktor Matyjewicz, who started his adventure with the Club under a Grupa Azoty programme. This year Wiktor made his debut on Poland’s national youth team and stands a good chance for an international career. This demonstrates that financial support at an early stage creates far greater opportunities for athletes to develop.
