PZPN

A video published on the Łączy Nas Piłka Kobieca channel captures this nationwide show of support. Support for Poland's candidacy was expressed by, among others, Jagiellonia Białystok, Wisła Kraków and the Mayor of Gdańsk, Aleksandra Dulkiewicz.

This is only the beginning. A fresh wave of videos has appeared online – from clubs, academies, local authorities and the media – all showing that hosting the European Championship is a shared cause for the entire footballing family.

In a piece produced by Lech Poznań, the coach of the women's first team, Alicja Zając, spoke out, reflecting on this year’s tournament in Switzerland and emphasising how hosting Europe’s biggest women’s tournament would be a huge boost for Polish football.

A similar sentiment was shared by Marcin Kamiński of Wisła Płock, who, having played abroad, has seen first-hand the scale and popularity of women’s football. He now openly supports Poland's efforts, encouraging it to follow the same path. His message is echoed by Wisła player Katarzyna Myszkowska, who also stressed the significance of the tournament.  

Strong support has also come from Pomerania. Polsat Plus Arena Gdańsk, the Pomorze Regional Football Association and top-flight side AP 2010 Orlen Gdańsk joined forces to send a clear message: the region’s football community is ready and waiting for the Women’s EURO to come to Poland. 

Players from LFA Szczecin have also spoken about their dreams. They emphasised how important it would be for their generation of players to watch the most important European matches in the country where they are taking their first steps. It is in clubs like these that the players who may one day play on the biggest stage are being developed.

Jerzy Brzęczek, head coach of the Poland national under-21 football team, was also among those showing their support. In his message, he made it clear that football, above all else, has the power to bring people together.

Men’s and women’s clubs from across the leagues, major sports newsrooms, journalists, football organisations, local authorities and stadium operators have all joined the campaign. Women’s football in Poland has never before seen mobilisation on this scale.

The 2029 UEFA Women's Championship could become the next major international event that shows the world that Poland is a country capable of delivering sporting events of the highest standards. But it’s more than just prestige. It’s a chance for long-term growth, greater visibility and the strengthening of the women’s game – a discipline that has been developing at an impressive pace in Poland.

Poland has been proving for years that it can successfully host top-level tournaments: 2020 UEFA European Football Championship, 2017 UEFA European Under-21 Championship, 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup, as well as the recent 2025 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship. And more challenges lie ahead – next year’s FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup and, in 2027, the UEFA Women’s Champions League final at PGE Narodowy.

“Poland is a reliable and trusted partner of UEFA and FIFA. Our bid is built on experience, high standards and consistent investment,” emphasised Cezary Kulesza, President of the PZPN.

The Polish Football Association has submitted complete tender documentation to UEFA for the organisation of 2029 UEFA Women's Championship. Sixteen national teams are expected to take part in the tournament, playing a total of 31 matches in Poland, from the group stage to the grand final. The Polish Football Association has identified eight suitable facilities in seven cities: Białystok, Gdańsk, Kraków (Wisła stadium), Szczecin, Warsaw (PGE Narodowy and Legia stadium), Wrocław and Zabrze. All local authorities have confirmed their willingness to cooperate, providing further proof that this is a truly nationwide project.

"We have applied to host UEFA Women's EURO 2029 because we believe that Poland is fully ready to host such a large tournament. Events of this calibre really drive the development and popularisation of women's football, and our goal is to further strengthen its position in the country", stressed Łukasz Wachowski, General Secretary of the PZPN.

Women’s football in Poland is developing like never before. The U-17 women's national team reached the semi-finals of last year’s European Championship and the quarter-finals of the World Cup. The senior team qualified for UEFA Women's Euro 2025 for the first time in history. Attendance records, such as 11,022 spectators in Gdańsk for the match against the Netherlands, show the sport’s rapidly growing popularity.

“Such a tournament would provide a major boost for further development. It would be an opportunity for clubs, academies and the entire footballing community,” said Poland women's national football team head coach Nina Patalon.

“EURO 2029 could accelerate the progress of our sport even more. It would inspire young girls across the country,” added Ewa Pajor, national team captain and FC Barcelona striker.

On 3 December 2025, UEFA’s Executive Committee will announce its decision in Nyon. Poland, as one of the candidates, has put forward a project that has united the entire football community. Everyone understands the immense potential that comes with hosting this tournament.
