In 1978, Poland issued a set of stamps commemorating the 1978 FIFA World Cup held in Argentina. The Polish national team competed in the tournament, finishing in 5th place.
From the information I can provide with reasonable confidence:
- The stamps were issued by the Polish Post Office (Poczta Polska) to celebrate Poland’s participation in the 1978 World Cup.
- Stamp designs likely incorporated soccer/football themes and elements related to the host country Argentina. Common elements in World Cup stamp sets include soccer balls, players in action poses, flags, and host country landmarks or symbols.
- Poland was drawn in Group 2 along with West Germany, Tunisia and Mexico. They advanced to the second round where they were eliminated after finishing 3rd in their group behind Argentina and Brazil.
- Top Polish players at the tournament included forward Grzegorz Lato, who scored 2 goals, and midfielder Kazimierz Deyna.
