The national top flight will become one of the first divisions in Europe to resume play when matches take place this weekend

Poland Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki has confirmed that the Ekstraklasa will welcome back fans into stadiums for games - at a limit of 25 per cent capacity - from June 19.

Though matches will initially be played behind closed doors, Morawiecki announced at a press conference on Friday that supporters will be allowed to return in a limited capacity next month.
