The Poland women’s national volleyball team advanced to the quarter-finals of the 2026 European Championship following a 3-0 victory over Portugal in Istanbul. The match scores were 25:18, 25:17, and 25:23.

While Poland maintained an undefeated record, the third set saw a period of instability where Portugal secured an unexpected lead, at one point trailing Poland 16-20. The Polish squad, led by coach Stefano Lavarini, stabilized through the performances of Maja Koput and Paulina Damaske, while Magdalena Stysiak contributed 22 points to the win.
