Gwardia Koszalin (officially: Klub Sportowy Gwardia Koszalin) is a Polish football club from Koszalin in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship . The club, which currently plays in the fourth division , had its most successful period in the 1970s.
history
The club was founded in 1946 as Milicyjny Klub Sportowy , making it one of the oldest clubs in the Polish region since 1945 . After a short time, the game was stopped again , also because of the relocation of the provincial administration to Szczecin . In 1948 the club was revived under the current name of Gwardia, which was then used by all clubs supported by the Polish police . In 1954, the club rose to what was then the third-highest division, in which one could establish oneself after being promoted again after relegation in the following season. In 1963, the club narrowly failed in the promotion to the second highest division, which finally succeeded in the 1970s.
The start in the second division was lost in front of 25,000 spectators against Lechia Gdańsk , but in the following games Gwardia remained unbeaten against well-known clubs. In 1975/76 the club reached the Puchar Polski , including victories over Pogoń Stettin and Górnik Zabrze , to the quarter-finals, where it was eliminated from the eventual winner Śląsk Wrocław .
In the following years, the club could no longer build on previous successes and played in the third and fourth leagues. The last season in the second division was 1993/94. After being relegated to the sixth division, an upswing began again, and in 2010 the promotion to the third division took place . In the 2016/17 season you rose as a champion in the national 2nd league . However, you could not establish yourself there and were relegated as the penultimate.
