Arka Gdynia has established a strategic partnership with the Czech club Slavia Prague, which could be crucial for the club's future. Jakub Mareš, the technical and sports director of Slavia, explained why they chose Arka, despite the club's recent relegation to the I liga. This choice was the result of a thorough analysis that considered cultural proximity and growth potential. Mareš emphasized that the goal of the partnership is not only to assist in developing young talents but also to ensure that Arka Gdynia becomes a strong and self-sufficient club in Ekstraklasa.

The collaboration with Slavia Prague could bring many benefits to Arka Gdynia, including support in data analysis, scouting, and improving internal processes. Director Mareš noted that their intention is a long-term partnership that will help Arka in its fight to return to the top league. Gdynia, as an attractive place to live, also played a significant role in the decision to establish this partnership.

Despite the relegation to the I liga, Slavia Prague sees potential in Arka. Mareš expressed hope that the effects of the collaboration will be visible in the upcoming seasons. Joint projects aim not only to improve sports results but also to develop the club as a whole. The team from Gdynia has gained a new partner who believes in its capabilities and future on the pitch.
