Women's football section
Women's football team, founded on 5 September 1974, holds the record for Polish championship titles won, with 14 titles to their name. After some financial problems in the 2007–08 season, the club was relegated from the top-flight; in 2008–09, they reached the promotion playoffs but lost convincingly. With the expansion of the Ekstraliga in 2010–11, a second-place finish was enough to ensure direct promotion again. In 2021, they won their first championship in over twenty years.
