Who is Poland coach?

Michał Probierz took charge of Poland in September 2023 after a successful spell in charge of the Under-21 side. A midfielder with Ruch Chorzów and Górnik Zabrze, the 51-year-old played abroad in Germany, and was Polish coach of the year for 2010 after leading Jagiellonia Białystok to the 2009/10 Polish Cup, a trophy he won again with Cracovia ten years later.

Poland key player: Robert Lewandowski

The captain, the player with the most caps and the all-time leading scorer by some distance, Lewandowski is Poland's talisman. One of the best strikers in world football of the past decade, the veteran will play his fourth EURO finals in familiar surroundings, following spells at Dortmund and Bayern.

Poland one to watch: Jakub Piotrowski

This has been the best season of Piotrowski's career. The 26-year-old has scored goals aplenty from defensive midfield, not only in the Bulgarian league for Ludogorets but in their UEFA Europa Conference League campaign. Blessed with a powerful long-range shot, Piotrowski has also delivered for Poland, scoring against Czechia in qualifying and against Estonia in the play-off semis.

How did Poland qualify for EURO 2024?

Third in Group D
Play-off semi-final: Poland 5-1 Estonia
Play-off final: Wales 0-0 Poland (aet, Poland win 5-4 on pens)

Poland finished a distant third to Albania and Czechia in Group D so their bid for a fifth straight European Championship went to the play-offs. Michał Probierz's side followed up a comfortable semi-final success against Estonia by booking their passage with a shoot-out victory against Wales after 120 goalless minutes in Cardiff.
