Dawid Drachal (born 31 January 2005) is a Polish professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Raków Częstochowa.
Born in Radom, Drachal started his youth career with Broń Radom at the age of nine.[1] He then moved to Ajax Radom for a year, before returning to Broń in early 2017.[2] In 2019, he joined Escola Varsovia.[3]
After undergoing a trial with German club Bayer Leverkusen in the summer,[4] Drachal signed a three-year contract with Ekstraklasa club Miedź Legnica on 31 August 2022.[5] 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.[6] He scored his first and only goal for Miedź's senior team on 1 May 2023 in a 1–1 league draw against Cracovia.[7] He made a total of 16 top tier appearances that year;[3] despite his efforts, Miedź suffered relegation at the end of the season.[8]
In June 2023, he was transferred to defending Ekstraklasa champions Raków Częstochowa, signing a five-year contract.[3] 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.[9] On 24 September 2023, he scored three goals in less than 22 minutes of a 3–5 away victory against Ruch Chorzów,[10] 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.[11]
He was called up for the 2022 UEFA European Under-17 Championship,[12] where he played in all three group stage matches: a 1–6 loss against France, in which he scored a goal,[13] a 1–2 loss to the Netherlands[14] and a 1–1 draw against Bulgaria. Poland was eliminated from the competition after finishing their group in third place.[15]
On 17 October 2023, he scored twice in a 3–3 2024 UEFA Euro Under-19 qualifying draw against Germany.[16]
On 22 March 2024, Drachal made his debut for the Poland U20 in a 1–5 Elite League defeat against England U20.[17]
In May 2024, he received his first under-21 call-up for a friendly against North Macedonia on 1 June 2024.[18]
As a child, he practiced breakdancing. His father, Andrzej, was also a footballer.[4]
