About
Robert Lewandowski is Poland's greatest ever footballer and one of the most prolific strikers in the history of the game. The Barcelona forward has scored over 600 career goals and holds the record as Poland's all-time leading scorer. At the FIFA World Cup 2026, Lewandowski will be aiming to finally guide Poland to the latter stages of the tournament in what is likely his final World Cup. His combination of strength, movement, and clinical finishing inside the penalty area remains world class, and he will be a focal point of Poland's ambitions throughout the competition.
World Cup Record
2 goals
Robert Lewandowski has competed at two FIFA World Cups for Poland. At the 2018 tournament in Russia, Lewandowski struggled to make an impact as Poland were eliminated in the group stage without winning a game. The 2022 World Cup in Qatar told a different story — Lewandowski finally scored his first World Cup goal, netting against Saudi Arabia in what was an emotional moment for both the player and Polish football. Poland advanced from the group stage before being eliminated by France in the round of 16. Lewandowski's performance in Qatar showed he can deliver on the biggest stage, and the 2026 World Cup is his final opportunity to lead Poland deeper into the tournament.
WC 2026 Preview
The FIFA World Cup 2026 will almost certainly be Robert Lewandowski's final World Cup, and he arrives motivated to deliver his most complete tournament performance. At 36, Lewandowski's goalscoring instinct remains razor sharp, and he continues to prove doubters wrong with his consistency at the highest level for FC Barcelona. Poland are not considered among the tournament favourites, but with Lewandowski leading the line, they are capable of advancing from the group stage and causing problems in the knockouts. His aerial ability, intelligent movement, and clinical finishing give Poland a genuine match-winner and ensure that Lewandowski remains one of the most dangerous strikers in the 2026 World Cup.
