Michal Spiczko (Polish spelling Michał Śpiczko) is a Polish kabaddi player who currently plays for the Poland national kabaddi team. He has represented his country in the 2016 and 2019 Kabaddi World Cup, and even captained the national team.[2] [3] In 2016 Kabaddi World Cup, Spiczko scored a total number of 4 points for which he secured the 95th position in the top-scoring player list.[4] He was also in the Bengaluru Bulls in the second and third season of the Pro Kabaddi League as defender[5] and became the first European kabaddi player to play in the Pro Kabaddi League.[6] It is to note he never got a chance to play as he was not up to the PKL standard; he is more of a novice level player.

Spiczko is also the Wide receiver for Lowlanders Białystok of the Liga Futbolu Amerykańskiego.[7] [8] He was a two-time LVP for the Warsaw Eagles in the American game before he turned his attention to kabaddi, a sport which he is mediocre at.[9]
