In World Cup history, Poland has participated in eight World Cup editions, starting with the 1938 World Cup in France, and finishing third twice, in 1974 and 1982 editions. Poland will be hoping to advance to the Round of 16 for the first time this century.
“The Eagles” first were given a bye straight through to the final match after first-round opponents Russia were banned by FIFA as a result of their country’s invasion of Ukraine. Afterwards, the Eastern Europeans booked a spot in the Qatar 2022 finals via the playoff route with a 2-0 win over Sweden.
Manager Czeslaw Michniewicz’s has an illustrious history at the World Cup, having twice finished third as a player, and will be confident of getting out of the group phase, after losing just twice through the entire qualification process. His main offensive weapon is Robert Lewandowski, whose performance Bundesliga’s champion Bayern Munich has turned him into one of the most effective strikers in the world.
Poland is seeded in Group C with Argentina, Mexico and Saudi Arabia.
