Jakub Kamiński

Jakub Kamiński of Benfica was born in Ruda Śląska, Poland on 5 June 2002 (age 24).

Jakub Kamiński is a Polish left winger, born on 5 June 2002 (age 24), now with Benfica. His best league return came at Lech Poznań in 2021-2022, when he scored nine goals in 33 appearances, a productive spell that put some substance behind his early reputation.

At Benfica in 2026-2027, his involvement has been limited but present across different fronts. He has made one Liga Portugal appearance, four in Europa League qualifying and one in the Europa League proper, scoring once in Europe. Across all competitions for the club, he has six appearances and one goal.

Kamiński has also remained involved with Poland, making 10 appearances in European World Cup qualifying this season and scoring twice, along with one Nations League appearance. His career so far is that of an established young international wide player, with his Lech form still the clearest marker of his attacking output.
