Central Army Sport Club, before) in the 1950s In 1957 he became WKS Śląsk Wrocław (Wojskowy Klub Sportowy, German Army Sports Club). Since 1997 the WKS stands for Wrocławski Klub Sportowy (Wrocław Sport Club), which documents the solution from the sponsorship of the army.

The club's colors are green-white-red. These colors also form the border of the club's coat of arms, in the center of which is the city coat of arms, which was valid from 1948 to 1990 and shows the Polish eagle on the left and the Silesian eagle on the right. In addition to football , the club had a well-known basketball department and a handball department, the first men's team of which was Polish champions 15 times.

Football department

The Śląsk footballers played from 1964 to 1969, from 1973 to 1993, from 1995 until they retired after 32 match days in the 1996/97 season, from 2000 to 2002 and again from 2008 in the highest Polish league. Until 2011, the venue was the stadium at ul. Oporowska in Wroclaw-Gräbschen (Grabiszyn), which until 1945 was the venue of the Wroclaw Sports Association 02 (BSV 02), the club that dominated the city at the time. For European Cup games in the 1970s and 1980s, the WKS Śląsk moved to the much larger Wroclaw Olympic Stadium . The new Miejski stadium , built with a view to the European Football Championship in 2012 , was moved into by the club during the 2011/12 season.

Since the club had become runners-up in the 2010/11 season of Ekstraklasa , they were eligible for qualifying for the UEFA Europa League in the 2011/12 season . After the in the second round Scottish representative Dundee United for a 1: 0 win at home and a 2: had away off 3 defeat, the club defeated in the third round on penalties the Bulgarian representative locomotive Sofia with 4: 3 and moved into the play-offs of the competition, in which they met the Romanian club Rapid Bucharest and were eliminated after a 1: 3 and a 1: 1.

In the 2011/12 season , Śląsk became the league leaders for the first time after moving to the Miejski stadium. The leadership changed several times until the end of the season. On the last day of the match, the team secured their second championship title after 1977 with a 1-0 win against last year's champions Wisła Krakau (goal scorer Rok Elsner ), one point ahead of their Silesian neighbors Ruch Chorzów and three points ahead of the long-leading capital city club Legia Warsaw . As a champion you qualified for the qualifying round for the Champions League . After they had won against FK Budućnost Podgorica in the second qualifying round , they failed at Helsingborgs IF and entered the play-offs for the Europa League against Hannover 96 . After a 3: 5 in the home game they lost the second leg in Hanover with 1: 5 and were eliminated from the competition.

With the end of the 2017/18 season, Śląsk Wrocław is in eighth place in the Ekstraklasa all-time table .

Fans

The fans of Śląsk Wrocław call themselves Szlachta z Wrocławia . In the 1980s, many fans of the club were active in the free trade union Solidarność and the more extreme Solidarność Walcząca , who fought against the communist regime in Poland. It is therefore not uncommon to see anti-communist and patriotic slogans in the stands.

The fans have a friendship with Lechia Gdańsk and Wisła Krakau (Three Kings of the Big Cities, Polish: Trzej Królowie Wielkich Miast). In addition to Motor Lublin , Miedź Legnica and the Czech club SFC Opava .

A particularly big rivalry is cultivated with the neighboring club Zagłębie Lubin . Games against Lubin are therefore often risky games.
