Story
Kibic - the Fan - is Wroclaw's most devoted sports supporter, positioned near the Olympic Stadium at al. Ignacego Jana Paderewskiego 35.

According to stadium legend, if the home team is struggling, it is enough to give Kibic a gentle pat on the back - and the momentum will miraculously shift in the right direction.
