PZPN sponsorship losses

Overview

The Polish Football Association (PZPN) is facing significant financial challenges following the departure of several key sponsors, resulting in an estimated loss of approximately 13 million PLN in annual revenue.

On 31 July 2026, the logistics company InPost ended its four-year partnership with the federation, a deal that had provided approximately 10 million PLN annually since 2022. InPost founder and CEO Rafał Brzoska stated that the company is shifting its strategic direction to support club football by becoming an official partner of the Ekstraklasa for three years starting in the 2026/27 season. Brzoska noted on X, “Zakończyliśmy naszą współpracę z PZPN… all the best and success in the future,” emphasizing the move reflects a new strategic focus rather than a withdrawal from football.

Following the loss of InPost, the PZPN confirmed that electronics manufacturer TCL also decided not to renew its partnership. The TCL contract, which began in May 2024, was reportedly worth approximately 3 million PLN per year.

Financial setbacks have been further compounded by the departure of the Staropolanka brand. Although the manufacturer, owned by Polska Grupa Uzdrowisk, was presented with a proposal to continue cooperation under different terms, no new agreement was reached by the 28 August deadline following the expiration of the previous contract on 31 July. This departure accounts for an additional 2 million PLN in annual revenue. Remaining sponsors include Orlen, Fakro, Tyskie, STS, Biedronka, and Tarczyński.
