Although Silesia was never independently affiliated with FIFA, it is a place of origin of many notable football players playing mostly for the Germany, Poland and Czech Republic national teams. In 2010, the following hypothetical "dream" Silesian team was presented of the current players of Silesian background:[3] Raphael Schäfer, Marek Jankulovski, Kamil Glik, Tomas Ujfalusi (born in Rýmařov, a town in Bruntál District in the Moravian-Silesian Region which is not in Silesia), Łukasz Piszczek, Adam Matuszczyk, Libor Sionko, Sebastian Tyrała, Lukas Podolski, Ireneusz Jeleń, Miroslav Klose.
Since then, other prominent Silesian players who have appeared for the full Poland team include Łukasz Skorupski, Tomasz Jodłowiec, Jakub Błaszczykowski, Piotr Ćwielong, Arkadiusz Milik and Artur Sobiech. Mario Lička, Tomáš Vaclík and Michal Papadopoulos have been capped by the Czech Republic.
