Mieczysław Ożóg (born 23 February 1966) is a Polish midfielder who plays for Bukowa Jastkowice. He is one of the oldest players playing in Polish football, albeit not in the top league. He played in Ekstraklasa as a footballer of Stal Stalowa Wola and Siarka Tarnobrzeg.

Club career

He played 108 games in the Polish Ekstraklasa and scored 8 goals.[1] He was voted the best footballer in the Rzeszów region in a poll conducted by Tempo and Radio Rzeszów.[2]

He started the 2007–08 season in Stal Stalowa Wola as the oldest player in the I liga and one of the oldest in the professional teams of the Polish league. Despite his age, the player had a secure place in Stal's lineup and played most of the matches as a full-time player. After losing a match against Pelikan Łowicz in early August 2007, he (along with two other players Andrzej Kasiak and Marek Kusiak) was removed from the team.[1]

After leaving Stalowa Wola, he combined physical work with playing in the lower leagues, becoming one of the oldest active players in Poland. In the fall round of the 2023–24 season, at the age of 57, he continued to play for the Klasa A club Bukowa Jastkowice.[3]
