Jan Bednarek turns 30: the ‘rock’ in FC Porto’s defence | OneFootball

Jan Bednarek celebrates his 30th birthday this Saturday, 12 April.

The Polish centre-back, currently playing for FC Porto, was born in 1996 in Słupca and has been part of the blue-and-white squad since 2025. Standing at 1.90 metres, Bednarek has established himself as an option for Porto’s central defence, following a career built between his development at Lech Poznań and a long spell in English football.

A Poland international, the centre-back arrived at the Dragão with experience gained at the highest level and a career marked by consistent performances. His nickname, “the wall”, reflects exactly that profile: a defender who is strong in duels, consistent in his positioning and reliable in protecting the goal.

On this special day, FC Porto marks the birthday of a player who brings strength and experience to the team’s back line.
