Motor Lublin kicked off its pre‑season preparations in Sochocin, where Mariusz Misiura's squad will train until July 16. The headline is the return of Ivo Rodrigues, a key midfielder last season, and the addition of three new signings.

Who is in the camp squad?

The roster features 26 players, including three newcomers: Bartosz Bereszyński, Mateusz Łęgowski and Mihai Popa. After dissolving the reserve team in the Macron IV league, the only youth players taken were Krystian Brzozowski, Marcel Złomańczuk, Konrad Kraska, Patryk Kukulski, Oskar Jeż, Borys Mołdach, Artsiom Akatau, Kacper Plichta and Franciszek Lewandowski. The first three have signed two‑year contracts.

Why does Rodrigues' return matter?

Rodrigues, a Portuguese international, was one of Motor Lublin's most influential players last season but missed training after the birth of his child. His contract automatically extended after meeting a minutes‑played clause, so his presence boosts midfield quality and gives the coach more tactical options.

What’s new in the coaching staff?

Misiura added two assistants: Zbigniew Dąbek, who will handle the team's motor preparation, and Bartłomiej Jabłoński, who will act as an analyst. Both came from Wisła Płock, bringing fresh ideas to training and match analysis.

What are the plans for the friendly match?

During the camp Motor Lublin will play a single control match – on July 11 they face first‑division side Polonia Warsaw. The game will be the first chance to assess the form of the newcomers and see how the squad adapts after the personnel changes.

Who occupies each position?

Goalkeepers: Gasper Tratnik, Mihai Popa, Patryk Kukulski, Oskar Jeż, Borys Mołdach. Defenders: Herve Matthys, Thomas Santos, Paskal Meyer, Bright Ede, Filip Luberecki, Marek Bartos, Bartosz Bereszyński, Artsiom Akatau, Krystian Brzozowski. Midfielders: Jacques Ndiaye, Florian Haxha, Franciszek Lewandowski, Fabio Ronaldo, Ivo Rodrigues, Christopher Simon, Mateusz Łęgowski, Kacper Szymanek, Marcel Złomańczuk, Konrad Kraska. Forwards: Karol Czubak, Kacper Plichta.

What does this mean for the upcoming season?

The Sochocin camp aims to give Motor Lublin a solid foundation before the Ekstraklasa campaign begins. Rodrigues' return and reinforcements in defence and midfield could translate into a sturdier back line and more creativity up front. Misiura hopes the reserve players will integrate smoothly, adding depth to a squad facing a demanding league schedule.
