Uniform of the Panthers Wrocław football team in 2024.
The Panthers Wrocław are an American football team based in Wrocław , Poland , that plays in the European League of Football (ELF) since the inaugural season 2021.
Panthers have qualified for the semifinal in 2021, and the wildcard round in 2023 .
Panthers have Ukraine as additional homegrown market.[1]
The Panthers Wrocław were founded in 2013 by Giants-Wrocław players and former Devils-Wrocław players. In 2014 and 2015 the Panthers were Polish runners-up, the following year they won the championship and were winners of the IFAF Europe Champions League.
Since 2019, the Panthers have been cooperating with the Jaguars Kąty Wroclawskie from the suburb of Kąty Wrocławskie.
The first announcements of the league already included the Panthers as one of the participants.[2]
In the 2021 season, the Panthers finished the regular season in second place in the North Division with six wins and four losses. They qualified for the semifinals, where they lost to the Hamburg Sea Devils 27-30.
The Panthers finished the 2022 season in 3rd place in the Northern Conference with five wins to seven losses. Following the season, Kuba Samel resigned as head coach and was named the Panthers' athletic director. U.S. college football coach Dave Christensen was announced as his successor in November 2022.
The Panthers signed American quarterback Nik Rango for the 2023 season, but released him a few weeks before the start of the regular season without naming a replacement yet. [3]
On 5/25/2023, 9 days before the season started, the Panthers announced that Matthew Vitale is their new quarterback for the 2023 season.[4] With eight wins and four losses, they qualified for the Wild Card Round, where they lost to Stuttgart Surge .
After A.J. Wentland had already received a two-year contract as a US player in the pre-season, Special Teams Player of the Year Devan Burrell was also signed by the Panthers. Adrià Botella Moreno came from the Paris Musketeers as an E-spot.
For the season opener against the Berlin Thunder, the Panthers will play for the first time in the Tarczyński Arena with a capacity of 45,105 spectators.
After the sixth game day, Head Coach Christensen was replaced by Craig Kuligowski, who was already serving as the Panthers' defensive coordinator.
In sporting terms, things were mixed. With a record of 6-6, they were able to secure second place in the Eastern Division, but this was not enough for a playoff spot in direct comparison with the runners-up in the other divisions .
HC Craig Kuligowski's contract has been extended for the 2025 season.
The Olympic Stadium (Polish: Stadion Olimpijski ) is a multi-purpose stadium in Wrocław, Poland. It is the home stadium of speedway team Sparta Wrocław and American football team Panthers Wrocław.
The stadium has a capacity now of 11,000 people and was supposed to be one of the main pitches on UEFA Euro 2012. The newly constructed Stadion Miejski (Tarczyński Arena) was used for that event instead.
The Panthers will play their opening game of the 2024 season vs Berlin Thunder in the Tarczyński Arena, which has a capacity of 45,105.
