The indoor football tournament, Spodek Super Cup, returned to the legendary Katowice arena after a 26-year hiatus. Not only did it seamlessly adapt to the realities of the 21st century, but thanks to Superbet, the main event sponsor, the tournament also contributed to improving the lives of children from challenging backgrounds.

During the tournament, thousands of fans supporting the participating teams in the Spodek Super Cup filled the stands. Each and every one of them had the opportunity to use their muscles for a charitable cause. In the fan zone, weights and benches were set up, allowing participants to lift weights and contribute to the Dom Aniołów Stróżów (Guardian Angels’ Home) foundation. For every successful attempt, 10 Polish złotys were donated to the association, which has been supporting youth from economically disadvantaged and excluded environments for the past 30 years. The initiative extended beyond just the football players; even fans pumping iron on the bench press were part of this collective effort. Superbet Poland’s CEO, Łukasz Seweryniak, expressed their readiness to contribute up to 10,000 Polish złotys, depending on the participants’ strength and commitment.

The atmosphere in the stands evoked memories of the “golden years” of the Spodek tournament. Fans passionately cheered and, through their physical efforts, supported Dom Aniołów Stróżów, which assists children from challenging environments in Silesia and Zagłębie, providing crucial support for their life journeys. Thanks to Superbet’s sponsorship of the Spodek Super Cup, fans lifting weights in the designated fan zone collectively raised over 20,000 Polish złotys. Out of this amount, 10,000 złotys will directly benefit the foundation, while the remainder will go to Superbet accounts for football enthusiasts involved in this charitable endeavor.

Angels truly exist

The Association “Dom Aniołów Stróżów” has been operating in Katowice since 1991 to support individuals marginalized by society and coming from excluded environments. Initially, their focus was near the PKP railway station, providing emergency assistance to young people in crises related to addiction and homelessness. Since then, Dom Aniołów Stróżów has become a true home, offering shelter, care, and therapy to the most needy children and youth in Silesia and the Zagłębie region. Within the eight facilities run by the association, there are community centers, therapeutic kindergartens, family counseling services, and street programs. Every day, approximately 130 people receive assistance in these community centers and clubs. 

“We strive to support not only major initiatives but also those that make a significant local impact. Dom Aniołów Stróżów has been a vital entity for over 30 years.  As the main sponsor of Górnik Zabrze and the Spodek Super Cup, we want to be part of initiatives that are important to the people of Silesia,” emphasizes Katarzyna Gawlik, Marketing Director of Superbet Polska.
