Poland
The Daily Telegraph characterized them as the most exuberant supporters present at the 2018 World Cup. FIFA imposed financial penalties of 10,000 Swiss francs on Poland’s soccer association due to their fans’ behavior, yet this disciplinary action didn’t prevent these passionate followers from propelling the Polish team to a 1-0 victory over Japan.
In their illustrious tournament history, Poland achieved third-place finishes in both 1974 and 1982, demonstrating their competitive capabilities on soccer’s grandest stage. The national team secured 20th position in FIFA’s 2018 men’s rankings before climbing slightly to 19th just one year after the tournament. As of October 2022, Poland occupies 26th place in the global standings.
