In a shocking turn of events, four players from the Polish Under 17 football team have been expelled from the squad due to an alcohol-related incident, Report informs via BNN.
The incident occurred on the eve of a major tournament, the U-17 World Cup in Indonesia, where the Polish team is set to compete in the group stage against Japan, Senegal, and Argentina. The players involved in the scandal are Oskar Tomczyk, Filip Rózga, Jan Łabędzki, and Filip Wolski.
The news of the scandal has not only disappointed the Polish Football Association but also embarrassed the Polish media, as these young players were considered talented and had a promising future. The incident has brought into question the discipline and professionalism within the team, and it reflects poorly on the coaching staff and the association as a whole.
Coach Marcin Włodarski, who has been leading the team, expressed his disappointment and frustration with the players’ actions. He described the incident as his “personal failure” and took responsibility for not instilling the necessary discipline in the team. He also expressed sympathy for the players’ families, acknowledging the impact of their actions on their loved ones.
This incident is not an isolated one for the Polish Football Association, as it adds to a growing list of scandals that have plagued the organization in recent years. The association has been criticized for its lack of transparency and accountability, and this latest incident only further tarnishes its reputation.
The expulsion of four players has undoubtedly created a setback for the Polish team, as they will now have to regroup and readjust their strategies without these key players. It remains to be seen how this incident will impact the team’s performance in the U-17 World Cup and whether they will be able to overcome this setback and achieve success on the international stage.
