‘Holy War’: The Krakow Derby

Please share:
Cracovia fans conduct a tifo at the ‘Holy War’ derby, 2020.

Our guest is Krakow-based Denys Nachornyy, whose Gigs and Groundhopping chronicles his football travels. He’s ideally placed to tell us all about the Krakow derby between two of Poland’s oldest football clubs, Cracovia and Wisła Krakow.

The so-called ‘Holy War’ is Poland’s most intense cross-city rivalry.

We also discuss some of the smaller clubs within Krakow that groundhoppers should check out. From Cold War concrete to cosy community clubs, there’s more to Krakow than the big two.

You can also follow Denys’s groundhopping here on Instagram.
