# Soccer: Veteran striker Robert Lewandowski has been named captain after being recalled on Friday to the Poland squad by new national coach Jan Urban for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. In June, Lewandowski, by far Poland’s all-time leading scorer, refused to play for the national team after Michal Probierz stripped the striker of the captain’s armband. Probierz resigned in June after his team, without Lewandowski, lost a World Cup qualifier to Finland.
