The gold medal of the Polish national football team at the Olympic Games in Munich, the silver medal at the Olympic Games in Montreal and the 3rd place at the World Championships in West Germany - these are only some of Kazimierz Górski's successes as a coach. These achievements are permanently inscribed in the history of Polish sport.
“He was more than a national team coach. Everyone who remembers the 1980s knows very well that Kazimierz Górski gave Poles, in very difficult times, great hope for regaining our value and greatness because he was a great Polish patriot," said Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki.

 Kazimierz Górski – Coach of the millennium

Born in pre-war Lviv, member of the national team, coach and football activist in the poll of the weekly magazine "Piłka nożna", he was considered the best Polish coach of the twentieth century. His achievements were also recognised in the international arena with the Ruby Order of Merit – the highest decoration awarded by UEFA.
„Kazimierz Górski used to say: Some people are born to play the violin, others to wear the uniform, I was born for football. He was a man of great modesty and great ambition. However, out of modesty, he never added that he was also born to win,” said the head of the government.

Kazimierz Górski National Stadium

The idea of naming the National Stadium after Kazimierz Górski was born in 2012. Two years later, a monument to the coach was erected near the stadium but the naming was postponed until a title sponsor was chosen.
„It is a very valuable idea for this stadium, our main stadium in Poland, to bear the name of Kazimierz Górski. Just as Górski's Eagles gave us hope, his view on football, his view on educating young people, gave us hope for a better future of Polish sport and Poland in general," emphasised Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki.
The implementation of the idea to connect the stadium with the legend of Polish football is also an expression of the need to promote the ethos that Kazimierz Górski followed both in sports and in his private life. As the head of government noted, Kazimierz Górski recommended to play not only as good as the opponent allows you but also to go the extra mile. When someone pulls out all the stops, they are worthy of gratitude and the greatest respect.
Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki also thanked everyone involved in the activities aimed at the development of Polish football:
„We know very well that, as always, 11 players go out on the pitch, but success also means work backstage - the work of the entire football association. That is why I would like to thank President Cezary Kulesza for this initiative, but also for his efforts to put the Polish football on the pedestal, where it belongs. Where it was in Kazimierz Górski's times.
