Poland: Who's Going Up, Down, Where?

Let's see who's being relegated from Poland's Ekstraklasa---and who's going up, as well as who's heading for European club competition for next season.

EKSTRAKLASA:

UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE:

Second Qualifying Round:

Legia Warsaw

EUROPA LEAGUE:

Lech Poznan

Slask Wroclaw

Piast Gliwice

NOTE:  Since both finalists for the Polish Cup, Legia Warsaw (who won) and Slak Wroclaw finished in the league's top three, fourth place Piast Gliwice also gained a Europa League qualification berth.

RELEGATED TO I LIGA:

Polonia Warsaw (who, despite finishing sixth, were relegated since they failed to obtain a license for the 2013-14 due to financial problems)

GKS Belchatow

NOTE: Due to what happened to Polonia Warsaw, Ruch Chorzow, who finished 15th and would have been relegated, instead remained in the Ekstraklasa for next season.

POLISH I LIGA:

PROMOTED TO POLISH EKSTRAKLASA:

Zawisza Bydgoszcz

Cracovia
