The Poland women's national football team represents Poland in international women's football. The team, controlled by the Polish Football Association, has never qualified for a major international tournament.
History
[edit]Poland was one of the earliest nations in Europe to begin developing women's football, having fielded its female team for the first time in 1981, for a friendly against Italy away. Poland's debut ended with a 0–3 defeat in Catania.
Since its inception, Poland has little success at the international stage, and has failed to qualify for any major tournament, although the team has come close in several occasions. This has been largely due to most of its female footballers are not professional, many Polish female footballers are part-timers, unlike the far more successful men's counterparts.[3] Despite their part-time status, the fact that the team has seen its rise in fortune since 2010s, having come very close in qualifying for UEFA Women's Euro 2013, 2022, as well as the 2011, 2015 and 2023 FIFA Women's World Cups were seen as signs of potential growth of the women's team.
Since late 2010s, more efforts have been put in order to give the women's national team more recognition. After failing to qualify for the UEFA Women's Euro 2022, the PZPN has undertaken the step to bid for the UEFA Women's Euro 2025, with the establishment of a separate women's football department, while the domestic women's league of Poland, Ekstraliga, is also moving toward establishing full-time professionalism in undisclosed dates.[4][5]
