Trying to buy key international tickets, especially for finals of tournaments, is one of the most exasperating experiences a football fan can endure. You might want to try your luck with the lottery-style systems that UEFA and FIFA operate, but in reality, the chances of securing the tickets you wish are very low indeed.
There are other routes to take, such as joining international team supporters clubs, which will involve you having to pay to join and offer no guarantee whatsoever of success; then there is a third option.
That option is to use SeatPick to secure the best-priced tickets. We work with hundreds of the most trusted ticket resellers around, and that means users of our platform get to pick from a wide selection of tickets for any game, including this Germany vs Poland clash.
Germany vs Poland UEFA Euros Tournament Record
As three-time European Championship winners, Germany can rightfully consider themselves among the best national teams to have competed in the competition. Indeed, as of 2023, only Spain have won as many titles, and Germany’s total of six final appearances is a competition record.
Their first success came in 1972, the first time West Germany ever made it to the finals, and that title was sealed with a comfortable 3-0 win over the Soviet Union, courtesy of two Gerd Muller goals.
Horst Hrubesch scored twice in the 1980 final against Belgium to give West Germany a second triumph, and a third came in Euro 96, with a narrow final triumph over the Czech Republic at Wembley Stadium coming thanks to an Oliver Bierhoff golden goal.
2008 saw Germany lose their third-ever final, this defeat coming due to a Fernando Torres goal giving Spain the win in Vienna.
2012 and 2016 saw strong runs ended at the Semi-Final stage, while 2020 saw Joachim Low’s side knocked out in the round of 16.
Poland’s record in the tournament is nowhere near as prestigious, and it took until 2008 for the Poles to finally make it to the finals, having failed in each of their previous 12 qualification attempts.
In 2008, they secured a single point from their group stage games, and in 2012, when they made it to the finals again, that total had doubled to two, still not enough to get the Biało-czerwoni to the knockout phase.
2016 saw Poland really make an impact in France. They breezed through the group phase, winning against both Northern Ireland and Ukraine and drawing with Germany, all without conceding a goal.
They then edged out Switzerland via penalties in the Round of 16 before facing Portugal in the Quarter-Finals. Goal machine Robert Lewandowski scored early on, but Renato Sanches equalized before half-time, and the game went to penalties, and on this occasion, it was Poland who were eliminated.
In the delayed Euro 2020 finals, Poland managed just one point from their group phase and were knocked out.
Germany vs Poland Head-to-Head
Germany and Poland have met in two UEFA European Championship finals stage matches, with the first of these coming in 2008 when Lukas Podolski scored twice to see the German to a 2-0 win in Klagenfurt.
Their second meeting happened in Euro 2016, with the two sides playing out a tight goalless draw in Paris, with both sides making it through to the knockout phase.
