Polish football & youth sport July 2026

Entities: Lukas Willen · Pogon Szczecin · PSŻ Poznań · Dimitri Bergé · Bartosz Smektała

Overview

The July programme for Polish youth and disability sport continued with regional tournaments, athletics meets and school‑based events. By mid‑July clubs intensified their summer transfer activity.

Górnik Łęczna secured defender Rafał Kobryń after a trial, stressing the need for teamwork and match control ahead of a pre‑season friendly against Hapoel Jerusalem on 19 July and the league opener on 25 July away to Świt Szczecin. Former Ekstraklasa player Pawe Ł Zieliński returned to Ślęza Wrocław in the III Liga after a twelve‑year hiatus. Nineteen‑year‑old Aleksander Recław joined Barycz Sułów from Cartusia Kartuzy, adding youth depth.

Lower‑tier sides Zorza Wilkszyn and Ognisko Przeworno kept looking for sparring partners, with Zorza targeting a match on 18 July and Ognisko planning a control game on 8 or 9 August.

In the Betclic 2 league, GKS Tychy confirmed the continuation of its 2026‑27 contract with Croatian‑born Josip Eškinja, a versatile midfielder/defender. Ekstraklasa side Radomiak Radom moved closer to completing the signing of defender Kryspin Szcześniak from Górnik Zabrze, pending formalities.

The Lower Silesian Football Association announced a partnership with Decathlon Poland, renaming the sixth‑tier competition the Decathlon A class. Group winners will receive 3,000 zł gift‑card prizes and all clubs enjoy a 15 % discount on Decathlon products, applied twice during the season. The withdrawn A‑class side Korona Osiek was taken over by Moto‑Jelcz Oława, preserving its place in the regional map.

Speedway club PSŻ Poznań secured riders Bartosz Smektała and Dimitri Bergé on contracts through 2027, while Ekstraklasa side Pogoń Szczecin added 23‑year‑old Belgian defender Lukas Willen on a free transfer, signing him through the 2028/29 season to strengthen the defence ahead of a clash with Cracovia.

These moves complement earlier activity, highlighting a busy summer window across Polish football while youth and disability sport events proceed throughout the month.
