History

The Poland women's national futsal team was established in February 2013. Piotr Siudziński, then coach of UKS Medan Gniezno, was appointed the team's first head coach by the Polish Football Association (PZPN) on 20 February 2013, with Wojciech Weiss serving as assistant coach. A month later, the team's first training camp was held in Racot, during which they played their first-ever unofficial match, defeating AFC Kościan 13–1.[ citation needed ] The first squad included goalkeepers Karolina Klabis and Angelika Tlałka, with a lineup of playmakers such as Milena Bączyk and Violetta Biegańska. In June 2013, the second camp was held in Siemiatycze in June 2013, where Poland registered victories over MKS Kresowiak-Orion Siemiatycze (13–1) and Tur Bielsk-Podlaski (34–0).[ citation needed ]

In October 2013, during the third camp in Głogówek, Poland played its first international matches against the Czech Republic, drawing the first 2–2 and winning the second 4–1. [1] In November 2013, Poland faced Ukraine, ranked fifth globally, registering their first loss (3–5). [2] On 26 February 2014, Poland played its first away international match in Pardubice, Czech Republic, winning 2–1, followed by a 3–2 win the next day. [3]

Inactive until 2016, the team was brought back under coach Wojciech Weiss. Poland participated in the Victory Day Women's Cup in Russia, where they finished last, losing to Spain, Russia, and Iran. [4] The team went on to win the Visegrad Group Tournaments in both 2016 and 2017. [5] [6]

In 2018, Poland competed in the inaugural UEFA Women's Futsal Championship qualifiers, finishing third in their group and missing qualification. The team returned to action in 2021 for the UEFA Women's Futsal Euro 2022 qualifiers but again fell short of qualifying, finishing second in their group behind Portugal.

In 2022, Poland participated in the Futsal Week tournament in Poreč, Croatia, securing victories over Finland and Hungary and drawing with Sweden and Croatia to win the tournament. That year, Poland also competed in the UEFA Women's Futsal Euro 2023 qualifiers held in Poznań due to the relocation from Ukraine. Poland finished third in the group, ultimately failing to qualify for the finals.

In June 2023, Poland returned to Futsal Week, where they defeated Croatia, drew with Sweden, and lost to Italy. In a thrilling final, they beat Italy 3–2 to win the tournament. FIFA subsequently announced the inaugural FIFA Women's Futsal World Cup for 2025, In October 2024, Poland defeated the Netherlands 4–2 in their first-ever World Cup qualifier match, later advancing by beating Kazakhstan 7–0 to advance to the Elite round.
