Destination: Paris! Panthers Wrocław are heading out for a showdown with Paris Lights!

This coming Saturday, as part of the third week of the AFLE - The League Europe, Panthers Wrocław will take on Paris Lights on the road. Kickoff is scheduled for 1:00 PM.

An incredibly demanding challenge awaits the Panthers in the French capital. Paris Lights is an organization playing its debut season in European competition, but the French representatives already put on a stellar performance in their opener against the Firenze Red Lions, securing a decisive 30-8 victory. Despite the dangerous opponent, Panthers Wrocław is a team on a completely different level. For years, the Wrocław franchise has regularly competed against the absolute European elite, and they are flying to Paris with a clear intention: to bounce back after their recent home loss to the Vienna Vikings.

The strength of the Polish franchise this season relies primarily on a fantastic chemistry between their two star leaders. Quarterback Jameson Wang and wide receiver Mike Harley Jr. have both been in spectacular form. In their matchups so far, the duo has connected for a whopping 7 touchdowns, putting both Wang and Harley Jr. at the top of the league statistics at their respective positions. The Paris defense will face a monumental task trying to stop the Wrocław offense. If the Panthers minimize their own mistakes and dictate their tempo right from the start, the French capital could turn out to be a happy hunting ground for them.

„We are disappointed coming off our home loss against the Vienna Vikings.  We did some good things against one of the top teams in Europe, but that was not our goal or our expectation.  Our goal and our expectation was to win. We will be excited to go to Paris and play against the Lights.  David Shelton is a very respected football coach.  They have a good looking football team and are 1-0.  Offensively, they have Canadian QB Evan Hillock which lets them put two As in other spots on the offense. American WR, French RB Armand Soulerot as well as a former player of ours Exavier Edwards who has been one of the superstars of European League of Football.” - comments Dave Likins, head coach of Panthers Wrocław

„A challenging game lies ahead of us. In their debut, Paris Lights proved that despite a short preparation period, they managed to build a strong team ready to compete at the highest European level. On our end, we want to redeem ourselves as quickly as possible after the painful loss to the Vikings and get back on track to winning. We realize that we are in for an incredibly tight game where the final outcome will come down to the details. The key to success will be maximum focus, minimizing our own mistakes, and 100% belief in our skills from the first to the final minute. Keep your fingers crossed for us and watch the broadcast on TV - we will do everything in our power to bring the coveted victory back to Wrocław!” - adds Jakub Ciurkot, Kicker for Panthers Wrocław.

The live broadcast of the game will be available on the AFLE+ platform and on Polsat Sport 3. Meanwhile, the Wrocław team will play their next home game on June 14th - hosting the Berlin Thunder at the 44,000-seat Tarczyński Arena. Tickets for this event are already available on Eventim.
