On Saturday, June 22nd 2002, after a very hard-fought match, the rugby team from MKS Ogniwo Sopot sports club defeated the current Polish champions, Lechia Gdańsk, winning by 13 to 5. This victory gave the rugby team from Sopot the bronze in the Rugby Premier League for the 2001/2002 season.
Being one of the sponsors of this promising team with excellent prospects (the competitors are aged 25 on average), Gdańsk-Trójmiasto Airport is particularly proud of this fact. It is worth stressing that at the end of the season the rugby players from Ogniwo played in T-shirts emblazoned with the airport's logo.
