#TOGETHER for the Academy

The partnership between Lech Poznań and the Superbet bookmaker brand does not only involve classic sponsorship but also extensive CSR activities. As part of the #Together campaign, a new balloon has just been launched at the Lech Academy, the leading one on the Polish map, financed thanks to… Kolejorz fans who set up accounts with Superbet using the TOGETHER code. The renovated structure can be admired next to the stadium at Bułgarska Street.

– Given our scale, we can clearly say that the training of Kolejorz is exemplary. This was also one of the reasons why we decided to embark on such a large partnership with Lech. Our collaboration is strongly based on the #TOGETHER campaign, under which 10% of the first deposit and 1% of the annual profit from accounts opened with this code return to the Academy. Although we have just started working together, we can already boast of the first results – emphasises Superbet CEO, Łukasz Seweryniak.

A completely new air dome for football games has just been constructed at Bułgarska Street. The balloon’s fabric and blowing systems were replaced as part of the funds obtained, among others, from the #TOGETHER campaign, i.e. actually thanks to the involvement of Kolejorz fans. Lech Academy is one of the most important places on the Polish football map. It was here that players such as Kamil Jóźwiak, Robert Gumny, Jakub Kamiński, Karol Linetty, Filip Marchwiński, Tymoteusz Puchacz, Jakub Moder and many, many others gained their football skills. Experts in working with youth use the modern infrastructure of the Wronki centre, regularly supplying the youth and senior Polish national teams with new talented players.

The new air dome is only the first step in using funds from the #TOGETHER campaign. The next ones depend on the actual scale of involvement of Kolejorz fans.

Romania Achieves Historic Triumph at European Club Cup in Chess!

In an unprecedented milestone for Romanian chess, the
women’s team from Romania has secured the gold medal in the renowned
“Champions League” of chess clubs at the European Club Cup.

This extraordinary victory marks Romania’s first-ever
triumph in this prestigious competition.

The Superchess Women’s Team delivered a standout performance
throughout the seven rounds, culminating in a resounding “golden”
victory for Romania.

Comprising the talents of Irina Bulmaga, Dinara Wagner,
Marsel Efroimski, Nino Batshiashvili, and Eline Roebers, the team’s exceptional
prowess was on full display. The climax of their journey came in a thrilling
final-round match against formidable opponents from Garuda Ajka, where they
secured victory with a score of 2.5-1.5 after four intense games. Noteworthy
were the crucial contributions of Dinara Wagner and Marsel Efroimski, who
played instrumental roles in propelling the team to the top of the podium.

With an impressive record of six wins and only one loss,
Superchess etched its name in history as the first Romanian team to claim the
European Chess Club Cup, an accomplishment that will be celebrated for
generations.

Irina Bulmaga shared her thoughts on the journey: “It
was a challenging yet captivating tournament, filled with tense matches. The
incredible team spirit played a vital role, with each member giving their all
on the board. When one of us faced adversity, our teammates stepped up, taking
calculated risks to turn the tide. Our captain, Alex Motylev, played a pivotal
role, not only in preparing us for our games but also in boosting our
morale.”

In the open category, the Romanian men team, consisting of
Vishy Anand, Richard Rapport, Kirill Shevchenko, Liviu-Dieter Nisipeanu,
Constantin Lupulescu, Vladimir Fedoseev, Jorden Van Foreest, and Bogdan Deac,
demonstrated their exceptional skills by maintaining an undefeated streak until
the 7th round. However, a momentary lapse in a crucial match against the
defending champions, Novy Bor, saw the Romanian team finish in 5th place
overall after a dramatic final round.

The Superchess team received funding and support from the
Superbet Foundation in partnership with the Romanian Chess Federation, an
alliance that has been instrumental in nurturing and developing Romanian chess
talents.

The Superbet Foundation maintains its steadfast commitment
to supporting the development of chess in Romania, providing support and
assistance to chess players of all generations, and fostering the growth of
this significant sport in the country.

We cycled PLN 100 000 on our bikes!

Tour de France for everyone! As part of the “No Sugar” campaign, throughout the most famous cycling race in the world, we encouraged people to complete kilometres on bikes to help diabetics.

The challenge was held between 1 and 23 July and exceeded the wildest expectations of its organisers. As part of the campaign, for every 340.4 km cycled, Superbet donated PLN 100 to a diabetes fighting organisation. Nearly 2,000 people participated in it, and almost half of them rode a minimum of 340 kilometres.

In total, as part of the campaign, cycling enthusiasts rode over 861,000 kilometres – an average of 865 kilometres per person. The three best participants rode a total of nearly 11,000 kilometres during the event. Each of them covered a longer distance than the cyclists in this year’s race around France. The record holder, who took first place in the “Ride kilometres for a good cause!” campaign, rode 3,884.8 kilometres during the 23-day challenge.

The collected money was donated to the Polish Diabetes Association, which has nearly 350 branches and groups, bringing together approximately 60,000 patients in total. The donation by Superbet will finance two projects implemented in 2024. The first one is targeted at people with diabetes and their loved ones.
