Club career

Polievka made his professional debut for Banská Bystrica on 12 July 2014, coming on as a substitute in the 90” minute for Nicolas Šumský.[2][3]

On 20 June 2015, he signed a three-year contract with Dunajská Streda.[4] Polievka made his debut for the club in a 2:0 win over FK Senica, starting the match.[5]

On 17 June 2024, it was announced that he would be joining Hungarian club MTK Budapest.[6]

International career

In March 2023, Polievka received his first call-up to the Slovak senior squad for two home UEFA Euro 2024 qualifiers against Luxembourg and Bosnia and Herzegovina.[7] He debuted in a goalless draw against the former opponent on 23 March 2023, only to be replaced by Róbert Boženík after 72 minutes.[8] Erik Farkaš of Aktuality.sk rated him 3 out of 10 on Polievka's debut, criticising lack of activity from the footballer as well as inadequate utilisation of his strengths.[9]
