Łukasz or Kuba? Panattoni is the main partner for the farewell match for these two legends of Borussia Dortmund

This Saturday on September 7^th at Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund Łukasz Piszczek and Kuba Błaszczykowski are to play their farewell match. This time these two teammates are to play against each other – in two separate teams made up of their colleagues from Borussia Dortmund and the Polish national team, while one of the trainers is to be the legendary Jürgen Klopp. Panattoni is the main partner of the event, with the industrial real estate developer having also recently become one of the partners of the Borussia Dortmund club.

Łukasz Piszczek and Jakub Błaszczykowski are two players who need no introduction. They have permanently been written into the history of Borussia Dortmund, becoming stars not only for Polish fans but also for football fans throughout the world. For years they have formed the basis of a team that went on to win four German championships and the German Cup. Piszczek, who has played 332 matches in Borussia's colours, has become a symbol of a solid right side defence. Błaszczykowski, with 185 matches for BVB, stands out in the memory of fans for his speed, determination and extraordinary loyalty towards the club.

“Together Jakub Błaszczykowski and Łukasz Piszczek have written the most recent chapter in the history of Borussia Dortmund. With 517 appearances between them, they formed the real pillars of the team. They both played a massive role in winning four Bundesliga championships and the German Cup. Their farewell match in Dortmund on September 7^th will unite them one more time with their teammates from the Bundesliga and the Polish national team. As an avid football fan, I am proud that Panattoni is to be part of this celebration,” stated Robert Dobrzycki,the CEO and co-owner of Panattoni in Europe, the UK, the Near East and India.

For their farewell match Kuba and Łukasz have chosen their teammates from both the past and present players of BVB. Those to appear on the turf will include Mohamed Zidan, Roman Weidenfeller and Kevin Grosskreutz, as well as those who have been capped by the Polish national team including Ebi Smolarek and Jacek Krzynówek. Kuba’s team is to play under the leadership of Jürgen Klopp, the legendary former coach of BVB and one of the best trainers in the world. The Panattoni logo is to appear on the shirts of the Piszczek team.

The farewell match of Błaszczykowski and Piszczek will be part of the official partnership between Panattoni and Borussia Dortmund, which was signed in August this year. Since 2018, Panattoni has supported a football academy in Goczałkowice-Zdrój for children and teenagers run by Łukasz Piszczek. Through the developer’s support the academy has state of the art training facilities and the resources required to support the next generation of young footballers.

“By supporting the farewell match of Łukasz Piszczek and Jakub Błaszczykowski, Panattoni is furthering its involvement in football and promoting the sporting values that for years have been the basis of success not only on the football field but also in business,” says Robert Dobrzycki.
