history

founding

The Football Association of Poland was founded on June 25, 1911 in Lviv on the initiative of Stanisław Kopernicki from Kraków. The formation of a Polish football association was a condition that laid the foundation for membership in the Austrian Football Association (ÖFV). Work on the statutes of the DFVfP began in November 1910, was finished in April 1911 and officially approved on December 13, 1911.

The founding members:

The establishment of the DFVfP was an important step to emphasize the national separation of the Poles. Before they were founded, the Polish clubs belonged directly to the Austrian association. Jewish associations and Ukrainians from Galicia did not join the DFVfP.

DFVFP was formally active in the structures of the Austrian Football Association (ÖFV) as a fully autonomous unit, so it was free to organize its own football matches. However, he could not officially represent his own national team. Today, with the exception of the British Isles, the cradle of football, FIFA allows national but not regional representations to be set up. The ÖFV had no impact on the activities of FIFA. The relevant statutes of the statute stated that the possible disputes would have been settled by FIFA. In fact, the influence was reversed because the Poles were in the Austrian federation and the Vice-President of the ÖFV Stanisław Kopernicki was elected. A representative of the DFVfP took part in the FIFA Congress and occupied one of the four ÖFV seats. The Austrian Football Association has had a federation structure since 1911, and the Galician Union was one of five member associations, alongside the Bohemian, Moravian-Silesian, Lower Austrian and Alpine member associations. DFVfP had one of the eight seats in the ÖFV authorities, the seats were distributed among the national associations in proportion to the number of affiliated clubs.

The seat of the Polish Football Association was the seat of the President of the DFVFP. First it was Krakow and then Lviv. DFVfP received the rank of the so-called club class , depending on the presented level of the football club, the team was divided into four classes: Class I, Class II A, Class II B and Class II C. In August 1911 the club had 6 members, KS Cracovia, Lauda Krakow, RKS Krakow, Wisla Krakow, Czarni Lwów and Pogoń Lwów, of which only KS Cracovia was a top notch team. In 1913 DFVfP consisted of 24 clubs (4 in class I and 20 in class II).

FIFA and UIAFA

FIFA's regulations that only one football association may be in one country met with massive rejection from many clubs. An English, French amateur association, the Czech football association ČSF and amateur associations from Belgium, Switzerland and Spain founded their own association, the Union International Amateur de Football Association (UIAFA) , in 1908 . FIFA responded with a boycott, if a FIFA club played with a UIAFA club, other clubs in the area that disregard FIFA rules could also be banned.

In the territory of Austria-Hungary, the ban on playing against UIAFA clubs was initially not obeyed too much. The ÖFV also allowed its clubs to play with the Czech clubs. In the general assembly of February 19, 1910 Cracovia decided to join the ÖFV. In 1910 Cracovia played six times against Wisła Krakow and five times with the permission of the ÖFV against Czech clubs. In the autumn of 1910, however, Wisła Krakau carried out three more games without permission, despite an express ban on playing by the ÖFV. As a result, Wisła Kraków's membership was canceled by the ÖFV. The reason given was the ÖFV and FIFA structures. For Polish clubs, the ban meant that they were not allowed to play with Wisła Krakow.

"In view of the crime in the international football movement, the Galician clubs must now submit to the ban of the Union and they are threatened that they will be excluded from the Union and thus from the football world"

quoted CZAS magazine ! . Both the derby against Cracovias and the Wisla game in the Lviv tournament (15) were not played despite Cracovia's request.

In the spring the situation in Wisła Kraków became increasingly hopeless. They didn't find any teams from Austria, Hungary, Germany or Poland to compete with. Wisła only played against Czech clubs or weak newly formed Kraków teams. This led to small revenues from ticket sales and financial problems for Wisła Krakow. In May 1911, they managed to beat the Scottish club Aberdeen. The Scottish Association had to officially apologize for not complying with FIFA rules at a congress and Wisła found it increasingly difficult to find teams that were equal.

In order to persuade clubs to play against Wisła after all, the club announced in the press that Wisła intends to donate the proceeds from the game against Cracovia, which takes place on May 3, 1911, to the TSL organization, which runs Polish schools . The trick didn't work as the Wisła and Cracovia teams refused to play. The players suggested that Wisła pay up front.

On the occasion of the game against Aberdeen on May 21, 1911, Wisła made a desperate attempt to establish a competitive relationship with FIFA, which is formed within the framework of the Polish Football Association. In retrospect there is uncertainty as to what it was called, CZAS magazine ! referred to this as Związek Towarzystw Piłki Nożnej (ZTPN), or Polski Związek Towarzystw Sportowych Piłki Nożnej , Związek Footbalistów Polskich or Związek Polski Piłki Nożnej . In addition to Wisła Kraków, the following associations were also members: Polonia Kraków, Diana Podgórze, Krakós Podgórze, Kresy Biała, Resovia Rzeszów, Sandecja Nowy Sacz, Skawa Wadowice, Wisłoka Dębica, KF Mielec, KF Tarnów, Czarni Lwów and Lechia Lwow. However, there are no sources of the founding members. Certainly this association was founded on May 28, 1911 at the UIAFA Congress in Roubaix, so that they could confirm their membership before the UIAFA. The next UIAFA congress was to take place in Prague in 1912. That is basically all there is to know about the brief activity of this relationship. A month later, on June 26, 1911, one of the founding members of the Black Lions founded another FIFA association of the Polish Football Association. One month later and on July 26, 1911, Wisła Krakau was again asked to rejoin the ÖFV without waiting for the ZPPN to be formally registered. The Austrian Football Association welcomed this application and on August 17, 1911, it was again a member of FIFA and thus also of UIAFA in Poland.

resolution

The association reactivated after the First World War and was then informally called Małopolskim Związkiem Piłki Nożnej (MZPN). In the summer of 1919, the DFVfP began preparations for sending the Polish team to the 1920 Olympic Games in Amsterdam . In October 1919, under the chairmanship of Stanisław Polakiewicz, Vice-President of the ZPPN, and one of the deputy chairmen of the ZPPN, Ludwik Christelbauer, the participation in the Olympic Games was announced. In autumn 1919, the association announced to the press that a championship of the MZPN would be held.

The German Football Association for Poland was the nucleus of football in Poland. After the independence of Poland, the DFVfP prepared a congress convention, draft statutes and competitions for national championships, and the Polish Football Association, Polski Związek Piłki Nożnej (PZPN), was founded on December 20, 1919. Almost all members of the DFVfP were among the members of the first PZPN board. The Galician Association, the German Football Association for Poland, was dissolved on May 16, 1920 after almost eight years of membership in the ÖFV.
