After I World War members of PFU established on 20 December 1919 in Warsaw the Polish Football Federation ( Polski Związek Piłki Nożnej ). Poland would play its first official international match on 18 December 1921 in Budapest, where the side lost to Hungary 1 -- 0. Their first international win would come on 28 May 1922 where they took on Sweden in Stockholm and beat them 2 -- 1. Poland qualified for their first ever World Cup in 1937 when they beat Yugoslavia 4 -- 0 and lost 1 -- 0 in the two qualifying matches and ensured their place in the 1938 World Cup in France. During their debut in the World Cup, Poland would play Brazil in a match which would become one of the most memorable matches in World Cup history. Despite Brazil not being regarded as the world 's top team in the 1930s, it was still believed to be a hard - to - beat side, having participated in two first World Cups. Under these circumstances, the Polish team -- which had never before participated on such a level -- was expected to lose the game against the South Americans. Thus, the defeat was not a sensation. However, all fans were surprised at the style with which the Poles played their lone game of the tournament. The white and reds got to the extra time, only then losing 5 -- 6. Ernest Wilimowski, who played for Ruch Chorzów at the time, scored four of Poland 's five goals, which to date is one of the most impressive individual performances in the history of the World Cup. Poland played what would be their last international match before the outbreak of World War II against Hungary, the runners - up in the 1938 World Cup. The match stands out as an achievement as Poland defeated the strongly favored Hungarian side 4 -- 2.

Poland suffered the worst defeat in the team 's history on 26 April 1948 with a 0 -- 8 loss to the Danish side. Poland would later erase that memory as they posted their second highest ever victory in Szczecin when they took down Norway 9 -- 0 on 4 September 1963. The game marked the debut for Włodzimierz Lubański. He scored one of the goals in the game. Lubański became the all - time top scorer for Poland while playing from 1963 to 1980 scoring 48 goals in 75 appearances. This victory was surpassed on 1 April 2009 in Kielce when Poland defeated San Marino 10 -- 0. On 1 December 1970, Polish football history would change forever all due to one man. Kazimierz Górski was named head coach of the national team. His success with the team was evident from the start with a gold medal at the 1972 Summer Olympics. Górski would later lead the team to another medal at the 1976 Olympics where they captured silver. However, nothing matched the two bronze medals at the 1974 and 1982 World Cups. 1974 -- 1986 : `` Golden era '' Main article : 1974 FIFA World Cup Group 4 Grzegorz Lato ( left ) Poland being mostly unknown on the international football scene before 1974 shook up the football world during the World Cup in Germany. However, this was no huge surprise as the core of the team successfully achieved a gold medal place in the Munich Olympics in 1972. The Olympics were not considered a major tournament by most Western nations, but Eastern European countries bypassed the amateur rules by fielding their full national teams, as most players also had employment with national industries or within the army. With their lightning speed and incredible team chemistry they were almost unstoppable. In qualifying they surprised everyone by eliminating England, quarter - finalists in 1970 and Champions in 1966.

It had rained all day long, the field was entirely flooded. Poland wanted the game postponed but the Austrian referee would not agree. The game went ahead. Poland needed a win to be in the final, a draw was enough for the Germans. But in the miserably wet conditions, Poland 's speed was of no use since the ball would not roll like it does on a dry field. Gerd Müller scored the winning goal in the 76th minute for Germany. The whole country was crushed. Poland would end the amazing run with a 1 -- 0 victory over Brazil in the third place game. Lato scored the winning goal his seventh of the tournament crowning him the top scorer of the World Cup.

Zbigniew Boniek playing in his first World Cup opened the scoring in the 43rd minute. The Mexicans drew level through Víctor Rangel in the 52nd minute, but four minutes later Kazimierz Deyna put Poland ahead once again. Then Boniek scored his second in the 84th to secure the 3 -- 1 win. In the second round, Poland met three South American teams.

At the 1982 FIFA World Cup, Poland were drawn in a group with Italy, Cameroon and Peru. The first two games were consecutive 0 -- 0 draws with Italy and Cameroon, but the final group game of the first round ended in a 5 -- 1 win for Poland, meaning they would advance to the second round as group winners.

In May 2018, Poland named the preliminary 34 - man squad, and on 4 June, they named the final 23 - man squad. The squad featured several notable players ; such as elite striker Robert Lewandowski ( playing at his first World Cup ), VfL Wolfsburg 's veteran midfielder Jakub Błaszczykowski, Monaco defender Kamil Glik ( who suffered an injury two weeks prior to the start of the tournament ), Napoli forward Arkadiusz Milik and Juventus goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny. However, despite all of this and despite being ranked 8th in the FIFA Ranking prior to the tournament, Poland 's tournament was disappointing overall ; they lost to Senegal in the opening match, losing 1 -- 2 on 19 June in Moscow. Five days later, on 24 June, they lost to Colombia in Kazan, losing 0 -- 3, which mathematically ended their hopes of qualifying from the group and on 28 June, beat Japan 1 -- 0 in their final group game in Volgograd. Poland finished bottom of their group.

Honours FIFA World Cup Third place 1974 1982 UEFA European Championship Quarterfinal 2016 Football at the Summer Olympics Gold medal 1972 Silver medal 1976 1992 Team image Names The official FIFA country code for Poland is POL. This abbreviation is used to identify the team in FIFA, UEFA, and other matches. The same abbreviation is also used under the International Organization for Standardization. `` Polish national football team '' can be translated into Polish as `` Reprezentacja Polski w piłce nożnej ''. The team 's nicknames include `` Biało - czerwoni '' which means `` The white - reds '' and `` Orły '' which translates into `` The Eagles ''. These are the most common names given to the Polish national football team. In English, the team is also widely known as `` The White Eagles '', based on Poland 's national coats of arms. National kits The national kits of Poland reflect the colors of the national flag which are white and red. Apart from minor details ( in the 1920s the socks in the home kit were striped ), the design remains unchanged since 1921. The home kit consists of a white shirt, red shorts and white socks ; the away kit is all red ( though sometimes worn with white shorts ). On the rare occasions when both home and away kits clash with the opponent 's, a colours third kit is available, usually in either black or blue ( currently navy blue with white - red sleeves ). The kit has traditionally been adorned with the white eagle ( until 2006, the coat of arms featured the inscription `` POLSKA '' in capital letters above the eagle ), the Polish coat of arms, and not, as with many other national teams, the national football federation logo. ( The Euro 2012 kits were the first to feature the logo of the PZPN, however, when the kit was first launched it did not include the iconic coat of arms with the white eagle. After only a few matches, the Coat of arms made its return on the national kits. ) Since 2009, the current kits are provided by Nike.

The record attendance came on 20 October 1956, when 100,000 fans witnessed a game between Poland and the Soviet Union, with Poland winning 2 -- 1. This holds the record for the most spectators to watch Poland. The stadium is being renovated to seat 55,210 and is set to open in September 2017. In 1993, the stadium was designated as the official home stadium of the Poland national team. A new National Stadium was constructed in Warsaw with an expected capacity of 58,145 seats. Following Euro 2012, it has been used as the venue for all qualifying matches and some friendly matches of the Poland national team.
