Jan Bednarek is changing his surroundings – after eight seasons in England, he's moving to Portugal's FC Porto. This move could prove pivotal both for his club career and his future with the Polish national team.
Read MorePo burzliwym okresie i rezygnacji Michała Probierza z funkcji selekcjonera reprezentacji Polski, Polski Związek Piłki Nożnej w końcu ogłosił nazwisko nowego szkoleniowca. Jan Urban, doświadczony trener z bogatą historią w polskiej i zagranicznej piłce, został oficjalnie wybrany na następcę Probierza. Decyzja ta, ogłoszona 16 lipca 2025 roku przez prezesa PZPN Cezarego Kuleszę, kończy ponad miesięczne spekulacje i daje nadzieję na nowy rozdział w historii Biało-Czerwonych.
Read MoreAfter Michał Probierz's dismissal, there's no clear candidate on the horizon for the new coach. Several candidates have already emerged, Zbigniew Boniek has sown confusion, one of the frontrunners allegedly declined, and no one has contacted the others. Then came the election of a new president and board at the Polish Football Association headquarters, which—according to descriptions from many regulars—isn't particularly dissimilar from Dr. Doofenshmirtz's evil partnership from one of those cartoons the younger generation might have watched. When the election topic died down (because, of course, you can't reject the only possible candidate), the matter of a new coach didn't take off either. We know as much as we knew after the match in Finland.

Prezes PZPN-u miał w przerwie jednego z meczów reprezentacji wieszać się na szyi oraz wyznawać miłość ówczesnemu prezesowi Orlenu - Danielowi Obajtkowi. Co najgorsze - lista afer z udziałem 63-latka jest znacznie dłuższa.
Read MorePoland is once again dreaming of a great football festival. The Polish Football Association (PZPN) has officially confirmed that it is considering submitting a candidacy to host the European Football Championship in 2036. After the organizational success of Euro 2012, which Poland co-hosted with Ukraine, the appetite for another great tournament is growing. Will the white and red colors once again dominate the stadiums in Warsaw, Gdańsk or Wrocław after 24 years?
Read MoreFans of the Polish national football team are waiting for the selection of a new coach. As usual, journalists throw out many different names of candidates, some confirmed by the Polish Football Association, and some are the product of media considerations. Among the potential coaches, there are 2 former coaches: Jerzy Brzęczek and Adam Nawałka. Many fans would like Nawałka, because he was the last coach during whose term our team played nicely and effectively. The question is, however, whether returning to the predecessors is a good idea? The Greek philosopher Heraclitus used to say that "you can't step into the same river twice". How does it look among coaches? I will give a few examples of coaches returning to their old positions. At least those that come to mind. I will start from the Polish backyard. Antoni PiechniczekOne of the 2 coaches in the history of the national team, who achieved real success with the team, such as a medal in a major senior event. He first led the team in the years 1981-1986. These years resulted in 2 qualifications to the World Cup, where we took 3rd and 14th place. He is the only coach to have qualified with our team twice to the World Cup. It is true that there were exceptionally unsuccessful qualifications for Euro 1984 along the way. However, despite this, the medal won in difficult conditions gives him a unique place (in a positive sense) in the history of our team. And 2 qualifications to the World Cup in our reality are also a considerable achievement. After 10 years, he took over the team again. However, the period 1996-1997 was very unsuccessful. Not even a year passed between the first and last match (2 days were missing). Only 3 wins: against Moldova, Cyprus and Latvia. Very poor qualifications for the 1998 World Cup and loss of chances to qualify already 3 rounds before the end of the qualifications. Clearly a negative return.
Read MoreAlmost 2 weeks ago, the entire footballing Poland was shocked by the fact that Michał Probierz gave the captain's armband to Piotr Zieliński, came into conflict with Robert Lewandowski and resigned after the disastrous match with Finland. The president of the Polish Football Association, Cezary Kulesza, now has a dilemma in his head, who to choose as the helmsman of the team. Several famous names appeared, but they were rejected. In this article, I will present which candidates I am talking about.
Read MoreWomen's football in Poland still has to fight for its place. Although our players play at the highest level and gain recognition abroad, in Poland they are still treated as an extra. The Polish Football Association marginalizes this sport by not providing appropriate conditions, financing or promotion. It is hard to believe that we have such great potential in Poland - from Ewa Pajor in Barcelona, through Paulina Dudek in PSG, to the national team that has just qualified for EURO 2025. Will Polish football finally wake up, or will it allow another generation of female footballers to be lost?
