TL;DR · 1 min read
In short
- Principle. The state does not take over PZPN. It funds what can be measured, and the federation keeps the autonomy required by FIFA and UEFA.
- What each partner gains. For each partner: one benefit and one concrete request.
- Assessment without contacting the authors. Six check questions and the PDF package, version 1.5.1, with all data, sources and assumptions.
- We are looking for criticism. We publish named statements, positive and critical, only with the author’s consent and affiliation.

Partners
What each partner gains and what we ask
| Partner | What they gain | What we ask |
|---|---|---|
| Ministry of Sport and Tourism (MSiT) | A multi-year programme with payment for results and full control of spending. Priority for mass sport and children’s health. | Assessment of the proposal and a decision whether, and in what form, to prepare a pilot in 2027. |
| Chancellery of the Prime Minister (KPRM) | A multi-year reform with measurable goals, staged roll-out and public control of spending. | Forwarding to the relevant institutions for assessment and considering consultation with MSiT and PZPN. |
| PZPN and regional associations | Money for training reaches the regions. The federation keeps its sporting decisions and regains fans’ trust. | Participation in the Programme Council and a draft statute change for the 2027 congress. |
| Clubs and Ekstraklasa | Higher transfer value of homegrown players, stable rewards and a transition period before new requirements. | An opinion on the proposed 2028/29 licence criteria, sent directly to PZPN. |
| Local governments | Better use of Orlik pitches and co-funding of coaches from the state budget. | An assessment of whether the municipality could contribute its own share if a public institution announced a pilot call. |
| Media | Open data with sources and ready material for their own independent analysis. | A critical check of the numbers and assumptions. |
Self-assessment
Six check questions
The assessment does not require contacting the authors. The PDF package contains all data, sources and assumptions.
- Do the numbers match the primary sources?
- Is the coach cost (PLN 3,000) realistic in a given voivodeship?
- Which scenario can be funded from existing money?
- Can the pilot indicators be measured with PZPN and Ministry of Sport data?
- Does any element require a change from PZPN that the state cannot order?
- What should be removed, changed or added before a decision?
