Poland's coach, Leo Beenhakker, has choosen a provisional 25 team squad for the UEFA Euro Cup 2008 in Austria and Switzerland, including Brazilian born Roger Guerreiro who recently was given the Polish nationality.

Poland's first match will be on June, the 8th, against Germany, in Klagenfurt in Austria, at 20:45. On the same day, Austria will be playing against Croatia, at 18:00 in Vienna. The next friendly match pre UEFA Euro Cup of Poland will be against FYR Macedonia on May the 25th.

The still provisional team of Poland for the UEFA Euro Cup 2008 is as follows:

Forwards of Poland for the UEFA Euro Cup 2008: Euzebiusz Smolarek (Real Racing Club Santander, Spain), Maciej Żurawski (Larissa FC, Greece), Tomasz Zahorski (Górnik Zabrze, Poland), Radosław Matusiak (Wisła Kraków, Poland), Marek Saganowski (Southampton FC, Poland).

Midfielders of Poland for the UEFA Euro Cup 2008: Dariusz Dudka (Wisła Kraków, Poland), Wojciech Łobodziński (Wisła Kraków, Poland), Jakub Błaszczykowski (BV Borussia Dortmund, Germany), Mariusz Lewandowski (FC Shakhtar Donetsk, Ukraine), Rafał Murawski (Lech Poznań, Poland), Łukasz Garguła (GKS Bełchatów, Poland), Jacek Krzynówek (VfL Wolfsburg, Germany), Radosław Majewski (Groclin Grodzisk Wielkopolski, Poland), Michał Pazdan (Górnik Zabrze, Poland), Roger Guerreiro (Legia Warszawa, Poland).

Defenders of Poland for the UEFA Euro Cup 2008: Jacek Bąk (FK Austria Wien, Austria), Marcin Wasilewski (RSC Anderlecht, Belgium), Paweł Golański (FC Steaua Bucureşti, Romania), Mariusz Jop (FC Moskva, Russia), Adam Kokoszka (Wisła Kraków, Poland), Jakub Wawrzyniak (Legia Warszawa, Poland), Michał Żewłakow (Olympiacos CFP, Greece), Grzegorz Bronowicki (FK Crvena Zvezda, Serbia).

Goalkeepers of Poland for the UEFA Euro Cup 2008: Artur Boruc (Celtic FC, Scotland), Tomasz Kuszczak (Manchester United FC, England), Łukasz Fabiański (Arsenal FC, England).

We can see that there are few Polish players with international experience, and we can notice that, perhaps, the most experienced in an international environment, such as the UEFA Euro Cup 2008 are the goalkeepers. Don't forget that Poland and Ukraine will be hosting the next UEFA Euro Cup in 2012.
