[DISCOVER POLAND THROUGH SPORT] WIELKOPOLSKA'S TRIUMPH

Starting from school competitions, proceeding to the voivodeship finals, and finally, culminating in the grand finale at the Polish Television studios in Warsaw. The second edition of the football knowledge competition organised as part of the "Discover Poland Through Sport" programme is already behind us. Each stage saw participants from all over Poland demonstrate their knowledge of our country's most popular sport, which was a truly impressive feat. In the deciding showdown, the representatives of Wielkopolska proved to be the best.


For all those who came to the capital on the Wednesday evening of 15 November, the participation in the "Big Test" organised by TVP and hosted by well-known journalists Sylwia Dekiert and Maciej Kurzajewski was quite an experience. After all, to represent your voivodeship, you first had to demonstrate that you have the greatest knowledge and the best reflexes. This is how sixteen teams of four (one girl and one boy from each of two age categories: born in 2009–2012 and 2013–2015) were formed.

During the Warsaw finals, each team was accompanied by a representative of the sports, media, culture or show business segment, who acted as its "captain". After three rounds of questions on both historical and current football issues, the top eight teams were selected, with only two remaining in the next — and final — stage. In the end, Team Wielkopolska comprising Hanna Ratajczak, Wiktoria Suwalska, Jakub Przybyłek and Aleksander Wlekliński, supervised by Agnieszka Kobus-Zawojska, a silver and bronze Olympic medallist in rowing, won a narrow victory against Team Dolny Śląsk.

The winning team received a PLN 30,000 cheque from Polish national team coach Michał Probierz, which they decided to donate to support amputee football. Congratulations to all finalists and winners!

"Discover Poland Through Sport" is a joint venture between the Polish Football Association and the Ministry of Education and Science.
