Górnik Zabrze (completely Górnik Zabrze Sportowa Spółka Akcyjna ) is a Polish football club from the Upper Silesian city of Zabrze , which was founded on December 14, 1948 . The club colors are white-blue-red. Górnik Zabrze was created from a merger of RKS Concordia, KS Pogoń, RKS Skra and KS Zjednoczenie. Górnik Zabrze is Polish record champion with 14 titles together with Ruch Chorzów , but has not won a championship title since 1988. The association has always been a symbol of miners in the Polish region of Upper Silesia .
The club's venue has been the Ernst Pohl Stadium at Ulica Roosevelta 81 since the club was founded . International matches were partly played in the Śląski Stadium . Many older fans still remember games against Austria Wien or AS Roma in front of over 100,000 spectators.
history
Together with Ruch Chorzów, Górnik Zabrze is the Polish record champion with 14 championship titles and six cup wins. In the 1960s Górnik dominated Polish football and secured six league titles and three cup wins in ten years. On April 29, 1970 Górnik Zabrze was in the final of the European Cup Winners' Cup , in which, however, Manchester City in Vienna had to be defeated 1: 2. Górnik is thus the only Polish team ever to have reached a European final. In the 1980s there were four more championship titles for Górnik. Four times in a row, the team finished the season first in the table and made Górnik the record champions.
After the club was still represented internationally in the mid-1990s, things went downhill due to financial problems. For years the club looked in vain for new sponsors and had to fear for the license several times. The financial misery also had an impact on the sporting situation, in 2005, 2006 and 2007 you could only just barely save yourself from relegation. In the most difficult times, the fans were the ones who saved the club. In the relegation battle in 2006 and 2007, up to 20,000 fans made the pilgrimage to Roosevelta 81, although the stadium officially only holds 17,000 spectators. Górnik Zabrze was able to record the highest audience participation despite poor performance. Even successful clubs that were fighting for the title during this time could not boast such attendance figures.
In 2007 sponsors could finally be found again. On July 10th, Górnik Zabrze was taken over by Allianz Polska SA, which secured the financial future of the association. The motto of the takeover is "Allianz - We support the best on the way up". The goal is to have the 15th championship in 2012, even if the Euro 2012 will also take place in Poland.
Even though it looked initially with new funds good for Górnik, the club rose on May 30, 2009 were at a home match against Polonia Warszawa before more than 22,000 fans of the Ekstraklasa in the first league from. The team played a fatal season and sealed the second relegation after 31 years in the Ekstraklasa.
After only one year in the first division Górnik was able to celebrate the return to the Ekstraklasa, although there was a new coach change due to the unsuccessful team after only six months. Ryszard Komornicki was replaced by Adam Nawałka , who moved from GKS Katowice to Górnik. During the second half of the season, an old friend came back to the Roosevelta 81. Tomasz Wałdoch took over the post as sports director.
After renewed financial problems and a partial takeover of the club by the city of Zabrze, the club announced in 2011 that construction of the new stadium could finally begin. Construction of the first three grandstands began in September 2011. Due to the construction work, the stadium capacity was limited to 3,000 seats. The first construction phase should be completed in early 2013 and include 24,000 seats on three grandstands and an underground car park under the grandstands.
In the 2015/16 season Górnik was one point behind Górnik Łęczna penultimate and thus had to relegate to the first division. In the next season succeeded as runner-up behind Sandecja Nowy Sącz the direct rise. In the 2017/18 season , the club came third as a promoted team and was therefore allowed to participate in qualifying for the 2018/19 UEFA Europa League , where it failed in the second round at the Slovakian FK AS Trenčín .
