Polish football updates: Betclic 2 Liga honors and Puchacz's Champions League advancement

In the Betclic 2 Liga, Maciej Styrczula of Podhale Nowy Targ has been named the best goalkeeper of the 2025/2026 season. The selection was made through the ‘Piłkarze Wybierają’ (Players Choose) poll organized by the Polish Football Association, where active players voted for the peers they found most difficult to play against.

Other notable honors include Dominik Frelek of Olimpia Grudziądz being voted the league's best player, and Oskar Kubiak receiving titles for both best young player and greatest discovery. Warta Poznań had the highest representation in the season's best eleven with three players.

In international news, Tymoteusz Puchacz has secured a place in the Champions League after his club, Sabah FK, successfully navigated the qualifying rounds. The Azerbaijani side is set to face Manchester United in the next stage. Jakub Moder expressed frustration regarding the public reaction to Puchacz's success, noting that many who previously criticized the player's move to Baku are now celebrating his achievement.
