Arka Gdynia players on board at PGZ Naval Shipyard
The players of Arka Gdynia had an unusual training session – instead of the pitch, grass, and a football, this time they faced... steel structures and the strength of the Polish shipbuilding industry. The first team and the coaching staff of the yellow and blue visited PGZ Naval Shipyard to see firsthand how ships are built for the Polish Navy.
In brief
Players and coaching staff of the Arka Gdynia first team visited PGZ Stocznia Wojenna to learn about the process of building ships for the Polish Navy. The visit included a presentation of the shipyard's modern infrastructure and the specifics of the shipbuilding industry, and at the end the players handed over a shirt signed by the whole team. Marcin Ryngwelski, president of the management board of PGZ Stocznia Wojenna, stressed that the shipyard and the club share the same values and are rooted in the identity of Gdynia. The cooperation with Arka Gdynia is carried out under the WspieramySportPomorza programme.
- Collaboration with Arka Gdynia is an important part of building relationships with the local community. Both the Shipyard and the football club are deeply rooted in the history and identity of Gdynia. We share the same values: hard work, passion, and commitment to the city's development, said Marcin Ryngwelski, President of the Management Board of PGZ Naval Shipyard.
The visit was an opportunity to present the guests with the Shipyard's modern infrastructure and familiarize them with the specifics of the shipbuilding industry. At the end of the meeting, the players presented a signed team jersey to the representatives of the Shipyard.
