Uniqa wins PIU Cup 2011

Date: 4 March 2011

The Uniqua team won the third indoor football tournament – PIU Cup 2011. The second place was taken by footballers of Ergo Hestia and the third by Link4. The final match was very close and a penalty shootout was decisive. The match ended 2:2 and we needed a penalty shootout, where Uniqua won 3:2. It is the second consecutive win of Uniqua in the PIU Cup.

The third place match was also very interesting – Link4 beat Gras Savoye 4:2.

Individual prizes were awarded to: Paweł Pachar of Ergo Hestia – best goalkeeper, Artur List of Warta – top scorer (8 goals).

PIU Cup 2011 was a record-breaking tournament not only because of the number of teams participating (20 teams took part in the event), but also because of the interest it aroused in fans. The playground was a great place for children who played there all the time. Older fans – having lost their energy on supporting their teams – could refresh themselves during a barbecue. – I am truly happy that our tournament has, above all, become a family event – Jan Grzegorz Prądzyński, president of the board of the Polish Insurance Association said while summing up the event. He thanked all the teams for participation and congratulated the winners during the awarding ceremony.
