Say the work Futbol or Football in Poland and ¾ of the rest of the world and Soccer is what the discussion entails. But, now there’s another game in town, American style football, and it’s probably the fastest growing sport in Poland.

Polska Liga Futbol Amerykański has four teams this year: Fireballs Wielkopolska, Pomorze Seahawks, The Crew Wrocław, and the Warsaw Eagles. Soon the Polish American Football Association (PZFA) hopes to add teams from Kraków, Łomża, Łódź, Silesia and Szczecin.

Some people might guess that most of the players are Americans. But in reality, the vast majority of players are Poles.
