How big a problem is racism in Polish football?
Racism is very visible in Polish football in many different forms but perhaps one of the biggest problems we are dealing with is anti-semitism.

How does the problem manifest itself?
It is quite common for rival fans to call each other Jewish as a term of abuse and you will also see a lot of neo-fascist and neo-Nazi symbols in stadia.

Banana throwing and monkey chants are still all too frequent in Polish grounds and the treatment of black players is often quite appalling.

Which clubs are the worst offenders?
It is difficult to single out clubs because the issue is so widespread but one example which comes to mind is the town of Lodz in central Poland which has two big clubs - LKS and Widzew.

You will see anti-semitic and fascist graffiti along with the symbols of the clubs not only in the stadia but on the streets as well.

Is the problem getting any better?
Emanuel Olisadebe has been a very positive influence since he became the first black member of the Polish national team two years ago.
