Jakie zbawienie daje Cracovia? Duchowo-transgresyjny wymiar piłki nożnej
What Sort of Salvation Does Cracovia Offer?

Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the spirituality of sport, with the author embarking upon the fulfilment of religious functions by extra-religious domains of culture. He discusses this question upon the example of football and the Cracovia club from Cracow. The titular “salvation” refers to Oriental soteriological conceptions that regard the goal of human life to be inner development and the attainment of “higher levels” of temporal life or the realisation of certain positive values. Sports fans can be perceived as quasi-religious groups involved in the realisation of community and transgression needs. According to the interpretations proposed by certain theories of religion, these are the fundamental features of religious life.
