Polski Związek Bokserski (Polish Boxing Association)

What Polski Związek Bokserski (Polish Boxing Association) does

Polski Związek Bokserski (PZB) is the national governing body for Olympic boxing in Poland, recognized by World Boxing and the European Boxing Confederation (EUBC). The federation organizes national championships, the Polish Boxing League (Polska Liga Boksu), the Suzuki Boxing Night international gala series, and the International Boxing Industry Fair at Targi Kielce. It also coordinates Polish national team participation in European Championships, World Cups, and the Olympic Games, with a youth development program called Akademia Boksu Olimpijskiego (ABO) and structured team categories from youth (młodzicy) through senior levels for both male and female athletes.

PZB operates a network of 317 affiliated boxing clubs across Poland, supporting over 7,500 competitors and 10,000 active practitioners. Its only material digital platform is the licensing system at pzb.sorga.pl, which manages boxer, coach, and referee licenses, accreditation, and trainer certification courses. There is no public API and no proprietary technology product; the federation distributes content through TVP Sport (broadcast), YouTube (PZB TV), and a multi-platform social presence.

The federation is a non-profit financed through three core streams: (1) membership and license fees from clubs, boxers, and coaches; (2) corporate sponsorships, with Suzuki Polska as General Sponsor, ORLEN as Main Sponsor, Krajowa Grupa Spożywcza as Strategic Partner, and additional technical and equipment partners (Weron, 4F, Sting Sports, Energy System Toruń, GKH Polska); and (3) government funding from the Polish Ministry of Sport and Tourism (Ministerstwo Sportu i Turystyki), operating under the umbrella of the Polski Komitet Olimpijski (Polish Olympic Committee). Its ~20-person administrative staff is headquartered in Warsaw at ul. Połczyńska 10, led by President Grzegorz Nowaczek (in role as of 2024, subject to October 2024 electoral congress).
