It is one of the world's strongest teams, being the 2009 European Champions and ranked eighth in the FIVB world ranking. Poland achieved some of its best results in the 1970s, with gold medals at 1974 FIVB Men's World Championship and the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal. They also won five consecutive silver medals at the European Volleyball Championships, between 1975 and 1983.
