The match in St. Gallen kicks off at 9 p.m. Warsaw time, with Poland looking to make their mark in their debut appearance at the European championships.

As Poland enter the fray, officials have said the team's opening fixture against Germany could prove to be crucial to the Poles' success in the tournament.

Poland are ranked 27th worldwide by football's governing body FIFA, while Germany are third.

Last Friday, Poland defeated Ukraine 4-0 in a warm-up friendly ahead of Euro 2025, with goals from Klaudia Jedlińska, Paulina Tomasiak, Kayla Adamek and Milena Kokosz.

With the victory in the southeastern Polish city of Mielec, Poland extended their unbeaten streak to 11 matches, including four wins last year and six wins and a draw so far this year.

After facing off against Germany on Friday, the Poles will take on Sweden in their next Euro 2025 group-stage fixture on July 8, and then play Denmark four days later.
