Olympic record

Since 1992, the Olympic team must consist out of under-23 players plus three overage players.[1]

Poland has qualified for only one Olympic competition at 1992, the inaugural edition of the under-23 team, where the team finished second after losing to host Spain in the final. Poland's qualification to Olympics can be decided from the performance of Poland U-21 in the UEFA European Under-21 Championship which served as the qualification stage to the Olympics.

The team has been often coached by the U-21 manager.
