One would assume that to ace a high-intensity sport like football, one will have to be physically fit and with fully functional limbs. But the Polish national team of amputees is proving this wrong.

The players who have either lost their limbs to accidents or birth deformities take part in different regional clubs that participate in matches held under the aegis of the Poland Amputee Football National Team, an organising body.

The Daily Mail reported Oleksy, 23, previously played as a goalkeeper but then he met with a car accident that led to the amputation of his leg. The promising footballer, who had to use a wheelchair after the accident, came to know about amputee football in 2019 and took up the sport.

Soon his performance and progress made him a part of the Poland Amputee Football National Team, while he continues to play for his local clubs in regional tournaments.
