21 players were named to the national team’s first training camp, led by Marcin Lijewski. At the end of April, Polish handball players will play two matches in Sharm El-Sheikh. ME 2024.
Just a few days ago, the federation officially introduced a new coach, and Marcin Lijewski had to send his appointments. There are two upcoming matches. ME 2024 with Italy and Latvia, where the Poles need only one win for a certain promotion.
The composition is not significantly different from that of the last qualifier against France. Przemyslaw Krajewski and Tomas Gibala, who ended their football careers with the national team, are gone, as is the last captain, Pyotr Chrapkowski. The most important change occurred among the goalkeepers. Mateusz Kornicki, who has been a surefire candidate for the past few years, this time he was among the reserves. Jakub Skrzyniarz returns to the team, and 20-year-old Marcel Jastrzebski also gets another chance.
Moreover, it is pointless to look for new names. Apart from Jastrzębski, Paweł Paterek, who made his competitive debut in March with France, has the least experience. A serious knee injury excluded Andrzej Widomski from the performance.
Match against Italy on 27 April, three days after Lijewski’s debut on Polish soil – against Latvia in his hometown of Ostrów Wielkopolski.
