Polish clubs UEFA qualifiers – August 2026 update

Overview

Lech Poznań’s Europa League campaign has faced significant logistical hurdles. While traveling to the Faroe Islands to face KÍ Klaksvík, the team experienced heavy fog at Vágar Airport, leading to repeated flight delays and a diversion to Bergen, Norway. Despite these delays, Lech Poznań secured a 5-0 victory against Klaksvik to advance to the fourth round, though the win was marred by a muscle injury to captain Mikael Ishak.

In the final qualifying playoff round, Lech Poznań faced Swiss champions FC Thun. The first leg, held at Enea Stadion, resulted in a 7-0 victory for the Polish side. Goals were scored by Robert Gumny, Patrik Walemark, Allahyar Sayyad, Mateusz Skrzypczak, Radoslaw Murawski, Daniel Hakans, and Robert Gumny. While the result was a rout, FC Thun is guaranteed a place in the UEFA Conference League league phase due to the current competition format.

Górnik Zabrze’s preparations for their Europa League return leg against Ferencváros TC were marred by violence in Zabrze, where masked hooligans attacked Hungarian supporters with objects and tear gas, leaving one supporter with a broken tibia. Hungarian Foreign Minister Anita Orbán described the incident as ‘shocking and unacceptable.’

Other Polish clubs have also seen competitive action. Jagiellonia Białystok secured a 2-1 home victory over Rangers FC in the first leg of their third-round Europa League qualifying tie, with Kajetan Szmyt scoring both goals. Raków Częstochowa and GKS Katowice continue their respective UEFA qualifying schedules.
