Athletic career
In 1962, at the age of nine, Frank Matychowiak began his career as a football player with the company sports association (BSG) Energie Görlitz . In the 1971/72 season he played with the Görlitzers, who had since been renamed BSG Motor WAMA, in the third-rate Dresden district league for the first time in the men's division. He then did his military service in the National People's Army . In 1974 he returned to BSG Motor WAMA and rose with her in 1977 to the second-rate GDR league , where Matychowiak played eleven of the 22 league games. After only one season, the Görlitzers had to relegate again, and Matychowiak moved to the GDR league club Chemie Leipzig for the 1978/79 season. There he was used as a defender in ten league games and played all eight promotion games with which Chemie Leipzig made promotion to the GDR league. In the league season 1979/80 Matychowiak belonged with 25 missions in 26 played point games to the regular team of the Leipzig, in which he continued to play in the defense. The BSG Chemie did not manage to stay in the league, and Matychowiak played another two years in the GDR league. He was able to maintain his regular place, because in the two seasons he played 36 of the 44 league games. For the 1982/83 season he moved to league rivals TSG Chemie Markkleeberg , where he continued to play in the GDR league until the end of the 1987/88 season. In the seasons 1985/86 and 1987/88, in which 34 point games were to be completed, he had longer time outs. In total, Matychowiak came to 131 point games in Markkleeberg. When he ended his career in high-class football in 1988 at the age of almost 35, he had a record of 25 league games (one goal) and 188 GDR league games (eight goals).
