Kick-off on March 26, 2026, at 21:45.

In the playoff semi-finals of the qualifying tournament for the World Cup, the Poland — Albania match will take place at the PGE Narodowy in Warsaw. In the entire history of confrontations, the teams have held fifteen head-to-head meetings: the Poles celebrated victory ten times, the Albanians were stronger twice, and three more matches ended in a draw. The last time the national teams met was within the qualification for Euro 2024, where they exchanged minimal home victories. The winner will meet the strongest in the Ukraine — Sweden pair.

Poland aims to repeat the success of the last tournament in Qatar, when the team managed to reach the 1/8 final stage. In the current qualifying cycle, the Poles took second place in Group G, losing the lead to the Netherlands national team by a margin of three points. Head coach Jan Urban has maintained an unbeaten streak in his post since his appointment in July last year, but in the upcoming game, he will have to look for a replacement for the suspended Atalanta midfielder, Nicola Zalewski. Seventeen-year-old Porto talent Oskar Pietuszewski was unexpectedly called up to the team, but striker Robert Lewandowski remains the main striking force of the host.

Albania has never participated in the final stages of the World Cup and is determined to break this streak. In the current qualification, the Albanian team finished second in its group, letting through only the England national team, which inflicted the team's only two defeats in the last ten official meetings. Statistics of confrontations with the Polish national team are difficult for the guest: the Albanians had to wait seventy-one years for their second victory over this opponent. Nevertheless, Sylvinho's charges demonstrate organized football and will try to use their chances on counterattacks.
