The Poland Euro 2024 squad is returns to the European Championships for a fifth successive time, though they didn't make it easy for themselves.
After finishing third in their Euro 2024 qualifying group, Poland had to go through the play-offs to secure their spot in Germany this summer. They managed to thrash Estonia in the semi-finals, but a nervy penalty shootout against Wales awaited them, which they duly won to book their place in the tournament.
Despite their struggles to qualify, though, the Poland Euro 2024 squad shouldn't be written off at all. Of course, they still have talisman Robert Lewandowski playing up front for them, while Wojciech Szczesny is in goal, Jakub Kiwior starts at the back and Napoli's Piotr Zielinski creates from midfield. There's great balance across the team, and even though they have one of the toughest Euro 2024 groups, they've still a great chance of reaching the knockout stages.
Indeed, drawn into a group containing France, the Netherlands and Austria is by no means easy, but there's always plenty of shocks awaiting international tournaments, and Poland will hope they can cause plenty.
This will be Poland's seventh consecutive major tournament appearance in all – they also featured at the 2018 and 2022 World Cups – and, as with every Euro 2024 side, FourFourTwo will bring you all the latest as we report live from the European Championship. That includes information on how to watch every game, as well as details on all the fixtures.

Poland Euro 2024 squad numbers
Once their team is confirmed, the Poland Euro 2024 squad numbers will be released soon after.
Poland manager: Michal Probierz
Promoted from the Poland U21 side, Probierz replaced former Portugal manager and Euro 2016-winning boss Fernando Santos in September 2023 following poor results against Albania and Moldova in qualifying. Probierz, meanwhile, had been impressing with the U21 team, nearly 20 years into his management career.
Indeed, the 51-year-old is something of a Polish Cup specialist at club level, having led Jagiellonia Bialystok to their first ever major domestic trophy in the competition in 2010, before repeating the feat with MKS Cracovia ten years later – their first silverware since 1948.
Poland’s star player
Robert Lewandowski
Poland’s greatest ever player, Robert Lewandowski’s list of honours is far too long to even begin listing here. Suffice to say he is behind only Gerd Muller in Bayern Munich’s list of all-time goalscorers, a genuine worldwide superstar, and one of the finest strikers of the 21st century.
The Barcelona striker spoke after the 2022 World Cup about his doubts as to whether he would continue in international football. To his country’s delight, though, Lewandowski has continued on – but at 35 years old, this may well be his last opportunity to play for his country at a major tournament. 100 international goals is in sight, however, so there's always potential he continues until he reaches that feat...
FAQs
How many players are Poland allowed to take to Euro 2024?
