Lechia Gdansk set an age record in Poland's I Liga by fielding the oldest starting lineup of the 21st century. Data published this week by Sportowe Fakty confirmed the team's average age exceeded 30 years in one match.
What did Lechia's record-breaking lineup look like?
The analysis showed the starting eleven had an average age of 30 years and 36 days. The oldest player in that lineup was a 34-year-old defender, while the youngest was 25. That 25-year-old appeared like a veteran compared to his teammates, as noted in the original report. The Gdańsk club thus broke the previous record held by another I Liga team.
What does this mean for the current situation?
Lechia Gdansk currently sits 12th in the I Liga table with 7 points from six matches. Their record shows 2 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses, with recent form reading WWLDL.
