The female GKS team is one of the showpieces of Katowice. The team consisting of 20 close-knit girls, who consider football to be their true passion, declassed their rivals in the last season and was promoted to the first league. Since 2016 the team has been supported by Galeria Libero which is being developed in the south of Katowice. Its sponsor contract has just been prolonged for another season. The footballers will be playing in Libero shirts for the next year.

In the last season female footballers from GKS Katowice were unrivalled. The Silesian team of second league female players scored a total of 137 goals and only lost 7 in 21 victorious matches. Their good teamwork, extraordinary efficiency and fight from the first to the 90th minutes provided them with the longed-for promotion to a higher league. “We play with the best that is why we are proud to support the champion female players from GKS Katowice. We have signed a sponsor contract with the club for another season,” says Katarzyna Porębska, marketing manager in Echo Investment"s Shopping Centre Department. “The possibility of continuing cooperation with such a significant and engaged partner is great elevation for us. Based on the agreement signed Libero will continue to be the Strategic Sponsor of the female football team in the next season. Their next promotion and the continuous progress of the team which currently plays close to the Extra League certainly facilitated the entire negotiation process,” emphasized Marcin Ćwikła, sales director at GKS. Libero has been focused on Katowice since the beginning. Since 2016 it has been a sponsor of the female GKS Katowice female football club, it also supports the Korez theatre in Katowice. Libero has initiated the URB4N music project – a unique music album which was created in cooperation with Miuosh of Katowice and young Silesian bands: Hengelo, Soxso and Jóga.  The construction of Galeria Libero is on schedule. Advanced commercialization process is conducted regardless of the progressing construction work. Over 70 pct of Libero"s retail area has been leased. Libero is characterized by its excellent location at the junction of Kościuszki Street and Kolejowa Street, which are used by over 15,000 vehicles per hour at peak times. The opening of Libero is planned for the spring of 2018.
