Polish volleyball will have some consolation from her! The teenager shined in the Nations League
The Polish national volleyball team won its fourth victory in the Nations League. The Poles beat the Bulgarians, and center Maja Koput played a very solid match.
It was a successful day for the Polish national volleyball players. Coach Stefano Lavarini’s team won 3-0 against Bulgaria, recording an important victory at the opening of the second VNL 2026 tournament. Let us add that the Polish women arrived in Bangkok with a record of three wins and one loss. The Polish team gained such capital while competing in the VNL tournament in China.
Nations League: Polish volleyball players beat the Bulgarians. Maja Koput showed class!
Coach Lavarini could use the services of Magdalena Stysiak during the second tournament of the VNL season. The attacker is one of the most important figures in the Polish team from the perspective of the last few years. Stysiak, as expected, started the match with the much lower ranked Bulgarians in the starting lineup. Although it must be admitted that it was not a great match played by the returning attacker. Let us add that during the VNL tournament in China, Julia Szczurowska, a debutant in the senior team, created a sensation – about whom we wrote a separate text in WPROST.
If we were to look for the leader of the national team in the match against the Bulgarians, Julita Piasecka was the best in terms of points. The host ultimately finished the match with 12 points.
Maja Koput’s form is also noteworthy. The girl, who is only 19 years old, takes advantage of the opportunities she receives from coach Lavarini without any complexes. In the match against the Bulgarians they ended up with 10 points and attack effectiveness of 60%. (10 attempts), three point blocks (the most in the team) and a service ace.
Moreover, on the same day, LOTTO Chemik Police announced that the talented Polish representative would remain in the national competition for another season. Koput played in 26 games in the 2025/26 season, scoring 183 points. And this campaign was the player’s debut at the senior level.
As you can see, it is possible that a really interesting representative is growing. It is worth adding that in the context of midfielders, in the 2026 season there was a very severe weakening in Lavarini’s team. The previous team captain, one of the best in her position in the world – Agnieszka Korneluk, ended her sports career. However, as is the case with sports, they do not like a vacuum, so now it’s time for more girls from younger generations. Koput may be one of them.
When is the next Polish women’s match in VNL 2026? There will be a meeting between Poland and Ukraine on Thursday (June 18). Starting at 12:00 Polish time, broadcast on Polsat Sport and online via the Polsat Box Go platform.
