According to Przegląd Sportowy Onet, it resulted from the failure of the plane on which Polish officials were supposed to fly from Dortmund. For this reason, Michał Probierz’s players  and the national team had to wait a little longer for the return journey. The plane from Cologne airport, which had all the planned passengers, took off only before one o’clock in the morning.

He landed in Warsaw at 2:30, i.e. one and a half hours later than planned. Our players were welcomed at the Chopin airport by crowds of fans who wanted to thank them for participating in the European Championships. Each of our representatives found a moment to take souvenir photos and exchange a few words, which was not the norm in previous years.

The events that took place after the World Cup in Qatar were certainly the most memorable for fans. Although the Poles managed to get out of the group, the atmosphere after this result was not the best. Some of the team members immediately went on vacation, and the rest, after returning to Poland, even fled from the fans and media through a military terminal.

Now the situation was completely different. Before the start of Euro 2024, Probierz had already announced that regardless of the result, there would be no escaping responsibility. And so it happened, which was a nod to the fans and a very nice change.
