Intense Showdown: Pogoń Szczecin vs. Legia Warszawa in Polish Cup Final

Warsaw, Poland – The 2025 Polish Cup final will feature an exciting match between Pogoń Szczecin and Legia Warszawa on May 2, 2025, at 16:00. This year’s event, held at PGE Narodowy, has charged both teams with high hopes and pressure.

Pogoń Szczecin, last year’s runner-up, faces Legia Warszawa, who are looking to redeem themselves after a disappointing season in the PKO BP Ekstraklasa, where they sit in fifth place. The significance of this match extends beyond the trophy, as the winner secures a spot in the UEFA Europa League qualifiers, a much-needed financial boost for either club.

The final has sold out, with fans eagerly awaiting the start. Kickoff will be preceded by the national anthem, a cherished tradition that adds to the atmosphere of this prestigious event. The match will be officiated by referee Szymon Marciniak.

With significant prize money on the line—50% of a total pool of 10 million złoty awarded to the winner—the anticipation among fans and players alike is palpable. Pogoń has reached the final only four times before without securing a victory.

As the teams prepare for the challenge ahead, they carry the hopes of their supporters, ready to deliver an unforgettable spectacle on the pitch.
