The beginning of Jan Urban's tenure as Poland's national team coach promised to be a truly formidable challenge for the coach. However, it must be admitted that the new national team coach handled it admirably. Urban quickly defused the tense atmosphere that had gripped the team following the June training camp. The new coach also quickly resolved the captain's armband issue.

The ball landed again on Robert Lewandowski's shoulder, but he doesn't attach much importance to it. The most important thing happened on the pitch. The Polish national team began their September training camp with a trip to Rotterdam to play what could be the toughest match of the entire 2026 World Cup qualifiers. The match against the Dutch ended well.

Jan Urban and his players returned to Poland with a single point. Everyone in the team, however, is fully aware that the most important match is the match against Finland at the Silesian Stadium in Chorzów (the Poles sensationally lost the first match, editor's note). Jan Urban promised stability at the pre-match press conference, and we saw it in the lineup he selected for the game.

The group situation before the final whistle of this clash looks rather mediocre for our team. Poland has collected seven points from four matches, giving us second place. However, the third-place Finns have the same number of points, which shows how much this match and a potential victory mean. Kick-off is at 8:45 PM. Live text coverage on Sport.Interia.pl.
