In the first of the two Polish Football League semifinals, the Warsaw Eagles (7-1) will host the Silesia Rebels (4-4) in Polonia Stadium, the site of, this year’s Polish Bowl.
Since both teams faced the Warsaw Mets in this stadium, the winner will be back to play the Polish Bowl in a stadium they will have played in as many times as they did their home stadium (both teams had a regular season home game played at another field).
The Eagles will be trying to prove that their #1 seed is well deserved and their week 4 performance (37-0 win in Katowice) was not a fluke. The Eagles boast the stingiest defense in the country (110 pts in 8 games) and the most productive offense in the country (266 pts in 8 games). Despite a few key injuries, early in the season, the Eagles have shown depth across the board, and if they preform as they have all season, will be looking to play a “neutral site” Polish Bowl in their own city.
The Rebels, last year’s second place team, are on a mission to prove last season was not a game of luck. The Rebels are hoping to capitalize on recent successes and build, just in time to win the games that matter, aka the playoffs. A win against the Eagles would not only get them a spot in the 2024 Polish Bowl, but would show demonstrate the old cliché “this is why you play the game.”
