From 12 to 19 September this year, in Krakow, the best ampfutbol representations of the Old Continent will take place. On this occasion, Poczta Polska will introduce into circulation the emission stamp "European AMP Futbol Kraków 2021" broadcast. In the presentation, which took place in Krakow during the last press conference of the Polish national team in Amp football before the start of the tournament, was attended by Andrzej Bodziony, vice president of the board.
The author of the project, Jan Konarzewski, presented the dynamic figure of Krystian Priest - a player of the Polish Amp Futbol national team. In addition to the stamp, Poczta Polska released the FDC envelope (on the first day of circulation), at which the cup and the logo of the European AMP Futbol KRAKÓW 2021 European Championships were presented.
- Poczta Polska has been supporting the Polish national team in AMP Football for over two years. As a socially responsible company, Poczta Polska wants to help players in their professional career and sensitize employees that we have barriers above all in our heads. Today's philatelic publishing house is another brick that the mail adds to promote the national team in Amp football. I hope that on September 19 we will witness how the White-Red Captain raises a cup in the air for winning the whole tournament -emphasizes Andrzej Bodziony, vice president of the Poczta Polska Board.
Poczta Polska currently employs 1736 people with a disability certificate. They constitute 2.42% of the total employed in the company. Depending on the region, the employment of people with disabilities ranges from 1.75% to 6.13% (Gorzów Wielkopolski) of all employed. Poczta Polska is one of the largest contribution payers for the State Fund for the Disabled (PFRON), which are allocated to the professional and social rehabilitation of the disabled and their employment. The company has been a partner of the Polish Amp Futbol national team since 2019.
- Cooperation with such a large company with traditions as Poczta Polska from the beginning was a great matter for us. The post office not only supported us, but also our players employing them in their facilities. Today, on the eve of the great event - the Ampfutbol European Championships in Poland, we have the honor to find our discipline to the stamps, which we could not dream about a few years ago. It is a very important expression of recognition for our discipline and our work. Together with Poczta Polska, we invite you to Euro to Krakow - says Mateusz Widłak, president of AMP Futbol Polska.
