The company's seats can be found at six of the World Cup's eight venues, including Stadium 974 in Doha where Poland tied 0-0 with Mexico on November 22 and where they lost 0-2 to Argentina on Wednesday, Polish state news agency PAP has reported.

The Education City Stadium in Al Rayyan near Doha, where the Polish team beat Saudi Arabia 2-0 on November 26, also features innovative Nowy Styl seating, according to reports.

The company's flagship products include "the Abacus and Omega plastic chairs, as well as an upholstered VIP armchair model known as the Oscar VIP," according to the PAP news agency.

The company says its Abacus seat is “one of the best stadium seats in the world,” combining "modern design, arrangement flexibility and extraordinary durability.”

Nowy Styl CEO Adam Krzanowski has been quoted as saying: “We are happy that ... our seats used in the Qatari stadiums will have a chance to serve even longer and be used by a bigger group of football fans in developing countries."

Teams from 32 nations will play a total of 64 matches at eight stadiums in Qatar during this year's World Cup, which kicked off on November 20 and runs until December 18.

Poland's national football team has advanced to the last 16 of the global tournament despite being defeated by Argentina in its final group-stage game on Wednesday.
