Radosław Matusiak (born January 1, 1982 in Łódź) is a Polish footballer who is currently playing for U.S. Città di Palermo in the Italian Serie A.
Matusiak was part of the Polish U-16 team which placed second at Euro U-16 Cup in 1999. In 2006 he got his first senior international cap. He got his first goal on September 6, 2006 in a Euro 2008 qualifier against Serbia. On November 15 he also scored the only goal in a qualification match against Belgium in Brussels, keeping alive his country's hopes of qualifying.
Matusiak's contribution at the senior national team level caught the eyes of a handful of clubs in Europe during the winter transfer window. Speculation of the Polish striker joining Italian side U.S. Città di Palermo, third-placed in the Serie A league at the time, was finally realized when on 30 January 2007 Matusiak was announced with the rosanero, after having signed a 3.5 year contract with the Sicilian club worth nearly 2 mln euro.
