Kacper Bieszczad (born 11 September 2002) is a Polish professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper.

Club career

On 12 August 2020 he was loaned to Chrobry Głogów for the 2020–21 season. ^[1] In 2023, he was loaned to Polish champions Raków Częstochowa, a UEFA Champions League contender. ^[2] On 22 May 2024, Raków announced Bieszczad would depart the club upon the expiration of his loan deal, as they decided not to activate the buy option. ^[3]

On 3 February 2025, Bieszczad moved to Portuguese side Vizela on a deal until the end of the season, with an option to extend. ^[4] He left Vizela at the end of his contract in June 2025, without making an appearance for the senior team. ^[5]

Charity work

At the start of the 2022–23 season, Bieszczad launched the Murowane pomaganie charity campaign, pledging to make a donation of PLN 1,000 for every clean sheet kept. ^[6] Other goalkeepers, such as Legia Warsaw's Kacper Tobiasz, Raków Częstochowa's Vladan Kovačević, Wisła Płock's Krzysztof Kamiński and Ruch Chorzów's Jakub Bielecki, have also pledged to take part in the initiative. ^[6] In December 2022, Bieszczad reported the campaign had gathered PLN 117,000 in donations. ^[6]
