Why Poznań is a top destination for football fans

Lech Poznań is one of Poland’s most successful clubs and enjoys legendary status among its devoted supporters. The club is known not just for its domestic success but for its fan-driven traditions — including the globally recognized “Poznań” celebration, where fans turn their backs to the pitch, link arms, and jump in unison.

The city’s manageable size, vibrant old town, and affordable prices make it an ideal football destination for weekend travelers.

Insider tip: Poznań fans are incredibly welcoming to respectful visitors. Wear blue and white, and you’ll likely be invited to share a beer or chant.
