Poland National Football Team Squad

List of the Current Squad of the Poland National Soccer Team in 2025 and Roster of the 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualification.

Poland’s men’s national soccer team, governed by the Polish Football Association (PZPN), has established itself as one of Europe’s stalwarts on the world stage. Since making their FIFA World Cup debut in 1938, Poland has qualified for the finals on nine occasions, most recently in 2022. Their all-time best showings came in 1974 and 1982, when they finished third, cementing that era as the golden age of Polish international soccer.

At the UEFA European Championship, Poland has now competed in five tournaments: 2008, co-hosting in 2012, 2016, 2020, and 2024. Their standout performance remains the quarter-final run in 2016, where they were edged out by eventual champions Portugal. As co-hosts of Euro 2012 alongside Ukraine, Poland showcased its modern stadium infrastructure and passionate fan base on home soil.

Michał Probierz is the current coach of a Polish football manager, and Robert Lewandowski is the captain of the Polish football team. Robert Lewandowski is the most capped player for the national team and also is the top goalscorer (163 caps with 88 goals). Włodzimierz Lubański (75 caps with 48 goals) and Grzegorz Lato (100 caps with 45 goals) are in second and third positions in the sequence.
