Women's football section

Women's football team, founded 5 September 1974, holds the Polish record for championship titles won, with 13 titles to its name. After some financial problems the club was in the 2007–08 season relegated from the Ekstraliga Kobiet; in 2008–09 they reached the promotion playoffs but lost convincingly. With the expansion of the Ekstraliga in 2010–11 a second-place was enough to ensure direct promotion again. In 2021, they won their first championship in over twenty years.^[5]
