Krakow Sport

Sport is very popular in Poland, and football (soccer) particularly so. Krakow has three main football teams: Wisla Krakow and Cracovia Krakow in the main city, who play in the first division of the Polish League; and KS Hutnik Krakow, from Nowa Huta, who are currently in the third division. There is a fierce rivalry (one of the fiercest in world football) between fans of Wisla and fans of Cracovia, whose home grounds are just a few hundred meters apart; local derbies are always heavily policed.
