Legia Warsaw have started the 2025/26 season with significant changes and a positive opening victory. The club, entering its 108th season and 77th consecutive in Poland’s top flight, will compete domestically as well as in the UEFA Europa League this year[1]. Following a disappointing fifth-place league finish in 2024/25—despite winning the Polish Cup and reaching the Conference League quarterfinals—there were major personnel shifts. Michał Żewłakow returned as sporting director, replacing Jacek Zieliński, and Fredi Bobić was appointed to oversee football operations. After a dispute regarding contract responsibilities and a controversial lineup decision, head coach Gonçalo Feio departed, succeeded by Edward Iordănescu, former Romania national coach, in June 2025[1].

Iordănescu’s tenure began with an Austrian training camp that featured a draw against Ludogorets Razgrad and a victory over FK Jablonec[1]. Under his leadership, Legia secured their first win of the 2025/26 PKO BP Ekstraklasa season, defeating Korona Kielce 2-0 away with goals from Jean-Pierre Nsame and Migouel Alfarela[3].

The summer 2025 transfer window saw several notable arrivals: Arkadiusz Reca joined on a free transfer from Spezia (LM), Maxi Oyedele arrived from Strasbourg (€6 million, CM), and Mileta Rajović signed from Watford for €3 million (ST). Additionally, Petar Stojanović (RM) was signed from Empoli, and there were a handful of outgoing loans involving young players such as Jakub Adkonis and Oliwier Olewiński[2][4]. These moves indicate a focus on rejuvenation and squad depth for both domestic and European campaigns.

Off the pitch, Legia Warsaw unveiled their new 2025-26 away kit featuring a throwback emerald green design inspired by their 1995-96 season, accented in black and white, while retaining last season’s home kit. The Legia Ladies team receives a new red away kit, both produced by Adidas[5].

Legia Warsaw’s campaign in the UEFA Europa League 2025/26 is set to be closely watched, with live updates available from UEFA’s official platforms[7].
