POLISH FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION STRATEGY FOR THE YEARS 2020-2025
It is a great honour and privilege to be able to be involved with football, the beloved sport of Poles. It also bears a great amount of responsibility. Being aware of such a situation, we have taken the utmost care to create a strategy for the development of football in Poland for the next five years. In the process of drawing up the document, we relied primarily on the help of our football family, as well as on the knowledge and experience of national and international experts (i.e. UEFA, FIFA, Deloitte). During the many days of consultations and workshops, as well as on the basis of the results of research on the image of football and the PFA itself, not only in Poland but also in Europe, we defined the mission and vision in order to develop key strategic pillars for the development of the federation. After many months of work, we are pleased to present to you the “Polish Football Association Strategy for 2020-2025”.

The UEFA Executive Committee today decided, after an agreement with the European Club Association and the European Leagues, to recover the dates lost due to the cancellation of the March 2020 window and the postponement of EURO 2020 to the summer of 2021, by extending the March and September 2021 windows in the FIFA international match calendar so that three matches instead of two could be accommodated.
