#THE LICENCE APPEALS BOARD

ŁKS didn’t receive the licence thanks to which it would be able to play in the Ekstraklasa. The Licence Appeals Board of the Polish Football Association (PZPN) asserted that there were no legal grounds to let ŁKS play in the Polish highest division. Ipso facto, the Board sustained the decision from the 28th May. At present, Widzew Łódź stays in the First Division as well. The new season begins on 31st July.

"The licence appeals board of the Polish Football Association (PZPN) refused for the second time to give ŁKS a special permission, thanks to which the club from Łódź could play in the season 2009/2010 in the highest football division" – informed the board's president, Zbigniew Lewicki. Such decision means that ŁKS is going to play its games in the First Division next season. That's why Arka Gdynia stays in the Ekstraklasa and Cracovia Cracow is going to play in playoffs.
