Łukasz Wachowski – Secretary General of PZPN
During the meeting held last Thursday, the Management Board of PZPN decided that Łukasz Wachowski would serve as Secretary General of Polish Football Association until the end of 2021. He will replace Maciej Sawicki who is leaving the association.
Łukasz Wachowski was born on 2 November 1982 in Olsztyn. He is a lawyer and a graduate of University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn. He has worked for the Polish Football Association since 2009, starting in the Legal Department.
