Important news before the Poland – Albania match. Straight from PGE Narodowy!
It is already known what conditions the Poland-Albania match will be played in. On Thursday (March 26) evening, the roof of the PGE Narodowy in Warsaw will be closed.
This will be the most important match of the Polish national football team in the last dozen or so months. As is often the case in a play-off game, the winner takes all. In this case, we are talking about the semi-final battle, which is the first step towards obtaining tickets for this year’s 2026 World Cup.
Poland – Albania. The roof of PGE Narodowy will be closed!
The Secretary of the Polish Football Association revealed the conditions in which the match on Thursday (March 26) will be played. The roof of PGE Narodowy will be closed. This is a practice that is very often used in matches outside the summer.
However, this is also valuable information for fans. The weather conditions will be far from spring-like. Around 9 p.m., i.e. during the meeting, the perceived temperature is expected to be around 5 degrees Celsius.
Poland – Albania. Where and when to watch the semi-final of the 2026 World Cup play-offs?
It is worth adding that coach Urban’s team has had a really good series. In the second half of 2025, since the former distinguished representative, participant of the World Cup (1986), has been leading the team, the Polish national team has not lost a match.
In September, there was a draw with the Netherlands in Rotterdam (1:1) and a victory against Finland (3:1) in Chorzów. In October, a win in a friendly match against New Zealand (1-0), a participant of the 2026 World Cup – again at the Superauto.pl Silesian Stadium – and a qualifying victory against Lithuania (2-0) in Kaunas. And the last representative window, i.e. a November draw at the PGE Narodowy with the Dutch (1:1) and a slightly tired away victory over the much lower ranked Malta (3:2).
The Poland-Albania match will be broadcast on TVP1 and TVP Sport. Additionally, you will be able to use the TVP Sport website and the station’s specially dedicated mobile application.
The first whistle of the match is at 8:45 p.m. at the PGE Narodowy in Warsaw. The match will be officiated by experienced English referee Anthony Taylor.
