Facts

 
  • The 2002 FIFA World Cup was Poland's sixth successful World Cup qualifying campaign. Arriving with high expectations, Poland gave a lacklustre performance in the first round and left early.

     
  • In their début in 1938, the Poles were also eliminated early on, after a remarkable 6-5 loss to Brazil in which Ernst Wilimowski scored four times. Poland enjoyed far greater success in 1974, prising third place from Brazil in Germany with a goal by Lato.

     
  • In 1982, the Polish team matched their 1974 performance. In the semi-finals they came up against the on-form Italians, who clinched a spirited 2-0 victory. Poland went on to defeat France 3-2 and claim third place overall.
