Shocking news from the Polish national team. Leader’s injury to the World Championships!
During the pre -match studio in Polsat Sport Extra, it was announced that Tomasz Fornal would play as a libero in the quarter -final match of the Polish World Championships – Türkiye.
Thus, the duo: Kamil Semeniuk and Wilfredo Leon will play in the initial setting of Poles. Tomasz Fornal therefore has health problems mentioned in the lobby, since he will appear in a team in a libero outfit. This number 1, invariably, is Jakub Popiwczak.
Importantly, according to Tomasz Swędrowski, a journalist and commentator Polsat Sport, Tomasz Fornal is to be ready for health on Saturday, i.e. the semi -final of the World Cup with Italy. Of course, assuming that Poles will play in this meeting.
The quarter -final match of the 2025 Polish World Cup – Türkiye on Wednesday (i.e. September 24) from 14:00. The World Cup matches are shown on Polsat Sport and Polsat Sport Extra. Meetings with the participation of the Polish national team are additionally available on the open Polsat antenna. Online broadcasts are available through, among others Polsat Box Go.
An impressive balance of the Polish volleyball team at the World Cup. Sack of medals!
In the medal classification of all time, looking at the world championships, Polish volleyballers are fourth. Poland reached for three gold medals (1974, 2014, 2018) and two silver rings (2006, 2022).
As you can see, apart from the memorable success of the Hubert Wagner team – later Olympic champions (1976) – they stood on the podium in the World Cup events in the 21st century. Recent years are extremely successful, since 2014 it has not happened that Poles were missing in the final of the event. In addition, it is worth noting that since the team trains under the baton of Nikola Grbcia, Poles from the most important events come back with the medal each time. Last example? The Golden League of Nations 2025, where in the final tournament in China Polish volleyballers did not lose a single set in any of the three meetings.
In addition, it is worth remembering that in the case of the Polish volleyball team, we are talking about: leaders of the FIVB world ranking, current European champions (2023), world runners -up (2022) and Olympic runners -up (2024). These are really special times for men’s volleyball in Poland. And what is also worth emphasizing, it began in total with … the 2006 World Championships. At that time, the team led by Raul Lozano decided to remind the world by climbing the party’s podium from the highest representative shelf. It was the first medal of the World Cup since Wagner.
