Czapczyk was born at Poznań and started his football career at HCP Poznań. During World War II, he was a Home Army soldier, eventually reaching the rank of lieutenant. He commanded an assault unit during the Warsaw Uprising; after its fall, he was imprisoned in several German camps, before being liberated in May 1945.[3]
He returned to Poland in 1946 to continue his football career. That year, as Warta's captain, he led the team to a second-place finish in the championship and the national title the following year.[3] In 1949, he joined Lech Poznań, where he remained until his retirement in 1953.[4]
