Jakub Kamiński at Benfica

Entities: Marco Silva · Vangelis Pavlidis · S.L. Benfica · Jakub Kamiński · Gianluca Prestianni

Overview

Polish forward Jakub Kamiński made a difficult start to his Benfica career, debuting in a Europa League qualifier on 23 July 2026. He began the match against FC St Gallen but was withdrawn in the 66th minute as Benfica fell behind and eventually lost 2‑1, drawing criticism for missed chances.

A few weeks later, on 6 August 2026, coach Marco Silva explained that selection decisions were competitive and that no player was guaranteed a place. After providing an assist in a 5‑0 win over St Gallen, Kamiński was used as a late substitute in a 6‑2 aggregate victory over Hearts, with Argentine winger Gianluca Prestianni preferred in the starting lineup. Despite limited minutes, Kamiński remains part of a high‑scoring Benfica attack that continues to progress in the Europa League.
