Cezary Kulesza to stand for election to the UEFA Executive Committee
The Polish Football Association will endeavour to retain its position as a Member of the UEFA Executive Committee. On the one hand, it is a highly prestigious function; on the other, it makes it possible to participate in making management decisions which are vital for the development of European football. Today, the UEFA Executive Committee has 20 members (president, 6 vice-presidents, 13 members) from the individual football associations — typically the presidents of these associations. Poland is currently represented by Zbigniew Boniek, appointed as a Committee Member in 2017, when he was President of the Polish Football Association. His term of office is about to end. Following consultations with the vice-presidents of the Association, it was decided to designate the current President, Cezary Kulesza, to run for this position within the UEFA structures.

Nina Patalon: We must take care of every detail while preparing for the tournament
The draw for the group stage of the Women's European Championship, to be played in July, was held in Switzerland. The Polish women will face Germany, Denmark, and Sweden. "The final tournament of the European Championship is upon us, and at this stage there are no easy groups and no teams that would let us relax even a little in the fight for points. It is crucial for us that we will face teams that are strong opponents, but their culture and style of play suit our team. We already have some experience and we know our rivals, which is an added advantage when it comes to preparing for this competition," said head coach Nina Patalon.
