The Silesian club has teamed up with Poland's Association of Disabled Fans for the initiative, with Wrocław's Municipal Stadium happy to promote its accessibility for disabled supporters.
Free entry for disabled people will be provided during Saturday's match between Śląsk Wrocław and Lechia Gdańsk.
The organisers hope to break a record set in Scotland, when over 700 disabled fans watched a game from the stands.
The Municipal Stadium in Wrocław was constructed for Euro 2012, with the tournament divided between Poland and Ukraine.
The stadium has already proved its disabled-friendly credentials, hosting on average 200 disabled fans each match. (nh)
