The Association’s president Miroslaw Przedpelski has also disclosed plans of organizing a Poland-Brazil rematch of this year's World Championship final, to be held at the National Stadium in Warsaw.
The idea would be to come up with prize money from sponsors and organize the game under the patronage of the leading Polish sports newspaper Przeglad Sportowy.
Poland’s strong point in meeting all these planned challenges has been the highly favourable overall opinion received as organizers of the latest World Championship tournament held in 7 major cities: Bydgoszcz, Gdansk, Katowice, Krakow, Lodz, Warsaw and Wroclaw. (ss/nh)
