The Polish men’s field hockey team won silver at the EuroHockey Indoor Championship in Heidelberg, Germany. Among the players who contributed to this success once again were students and graduates from our university and our AZS AWF Poznań sports club.
Poland was represented by, among others:
- Patryk Pawlak (masters’s degree programme in sports coaching)
- Mateusz Nowakowski (graduate of the bachelor’s degree programme in sports coaching)
- Maksymilian Koperski (bachelor’s degree programme in sports coaching)
The Polish national team won two matches, drew one, and lost only one in the group stage. In the semi-finals, they won a hard-fought match against Germany 4–3. The final against Austria ended in a 3–3 draw after regular time. In the penalty shootout, our team lost by a narrow margin of 2–3.
This silver medal at the European Championships confirms the high standard of sporting training and the successful combination of academic studies with competing at the highest international level.
