Sosnowiec.Poland started with as many as seven debutants against Serbia, Lemanski returned after years of absence
Poland began its participation in the tournament in Sosnowiec with an extremely experimental and rejuvenated squad for the match against Serbia. It turned out that not three, but as many as seven volleyball players made their official debut for the men's national team of "Druzyna Polska".
Their first match with the Polish men's national jersey was played by:
Bartosz Fijałek
Jakub Majchrzak
Maksym Kędzierski
Jakub Kiedos
Bartosz Zych
Michał Grabek
Jakub Przypolkowicz
The Polish staff used the tournament as an opportunity to test a wider range of players and give young volleyball players a chance on the international stage.
Alongside the debutants, the return of middle blocker Bartłomiej Lemański also draws attention. He is playing for the national team again after a long absence, his last appearance with the Polish team being in 2019.
Poland started the tournament with the following squad:
| No. | Player |
|---|---|
| 01 | Aliaksei Nasiewicz |
| 05 | Mikołaj Sawicki |
| 07 | Bartłomiej Lemański |
| 08 | Bartosz Fijałek (libero) |
| 17 | Jakub Majchrzak |
| 29 | Dawid Dulski |
| 32 | Marcel Bakaj |
| 33 | Maksym Kędzierzki (libero) |
| 55 | Jakub Kiedos |
| 58 | Bartosz Zych |
| 61 | Mateusz Nowak |
| 65 | Michał Grabek |
| 75 | Jakub Przypolkowicz |
Most likely, however, this lineup will not remain unchanged for the match against Bulgaria. Rotations and the inclusion of more players are expected, as the Polish staff continues to test various game combinations before the next official matches.
