Though the first football federation in Poland was established in 1911, World War I put any plans of forming a national team on hold. It wasn’t until 1919 that the Polish Football Federation was officially founded, with the first international match being organized two years later.

Following their showing at the World Cup, the team played a friendly match against Hungary, who had finished 2nd in the tournament.

Following losses to South Korea 0-2 and Portugal0-4, they finished the tournament on a positive note by beating the United States 3-1. Despite the victory...
Despite missing the next two World Cups, Poland made up for it by qualifying for their first-ever European Championship in 2008. By that point, Poland was the most populated UEFA member state that hadn’t qualified for the tournament, as they missed out on no less than 12 consecutive Euros. Their inaugural debut was a disappointment, though, as they...

At the tournament, they adopted a highly defensive tactic which saw them concede only 2 goals in the group stage. On the opposite side of the field, their attacking output left much to be...
