"The World Cup turned out to be a huge success for the Polish television in terms of the size of the audience and profit," Kurski told journalists, adding that the broadcasts of matches and World Cup-related programs took up a total of 886 hours.

According to Kurski, Poland's opening game against Senegal, which ended 2-1 to the African side, was the most viewed of the World Cup games in the country.

Poland went on to lose 3-0 to Colombia before beating Japan 1-0 and failed to reach the knockout stage.

The 2018 FIFA World Cup kicked off on June 14 and came to a close on Sunday, with France defeating Croatia 4-2 in the final. The matches were played in 11 cities across Russia.
