Dawid Drachal (born 31 January 2005) is a Polish professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Raków Częstochowa.

Club career

Early years

Born in Radom, Drachal started his youth career with Broń Radom at the age of nine. He then moved to Ajax Radom for a year, before returning to Broń in early 2017. In 2019, he joined Escola Varsovia.

Miedź Legnica

After undergoing a trial with German club Bayer Leverkusen in the summer, Drachal signed a three-year contract with Ekstraklasa club Miedź Legnica on 31 August 2022. He made his senior team debut on 2 October 2022 in a 0–2 loss against Stal Mielec, before suffering a broken bone only a few days later. He scored his first and only goal for Miedź's senior team on 1 May 2023 in a 1–1 league draw against Cracovia. He made a total of 16 top tier appearances that year; despite his efforts, Miedź suffered relegation at the end of the season.

Raków Częstochowa

In June 2023, he was transferred to defending Ekstraklasa champions Raków Częstochowa, signing a five-year contract. After a single outing with Raków's reserve side, he made his first team on 19 August in a 2–0 win over Stal Mielec. On 24 September 2023, he scored three goals in less than 22 minutes of a 3–5 away victory against Ruch Chorzów, thus becoming the youngest player to score a hat-trick in the first half of a match at the highest level of league competition in Poland since Ernst Wilimowski on 30 September 1934.

International career

He was called up for the 2022 UEFA European Under-17 Championship, where he played in all three group stage matches: a 1–6 loss against France, in which he scored a goal, a 1–2 loss to the Netherlands and a 1–1 draw against Bulgaria. Poland was eliminated from the competition after finishing their group in third place.

On 17 October 2023, he scored twice in a 3–3 2024 UEFA Euro Under-19 qualifying draw against Germany.

On 22 March 2024, Drachal made his debut for the Poland U20 in a 1–5 Elite League defeat against England U20.

In May 2024, he received his first under-21 call-up for a friendly against North Macedonia on 1 June 2024.

Personal life

As a child, he practiced breakdancing. His father, Andrzej, was also a footballer.
