Kacper Bieszczad (born 11 September 2002) is a Polish professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Liga Portugal 2 club Vizela.
Club career
[edit]On 12 August 2020 he was loaned to Chrobry Głogów for the 2020–21 season.[1] In 2023, he was loaned to Polish champions Raków Częstochowa, a UEFA Champions League contender.[2] On 22 May 2024, Raków announced Bieszczad would depart the club upon the expiration of his loan deal, as they decided not to activate the buy option.[3]
On 3 February 2025, Bieszczad moved to Portuguese side Vizela on a deal until the end of the season, with an option to extend.[4]
Charity work
[edit]At the start of the 2022–23 season, Bieszczad launched the Murowane pomaganie charity campaign, pledging to make a donation of PLN 1,000 for every clean sheet kept.[5] Other goalkeepers, such as Legia Warsaw's Kacper Tobiasz, Raków Częstochowa's Vladan Kovačević, Wisła Płock's Krzysztof Kamiński and Ruch Chorzów's Jakub Bielecki, have also pledged to take part in the initiative.[5] In December 2022, Bieszczad reported the campaign had gathered PLN 117,000 in donations.[5]
