history

Until 1939

The (Polish) Silesian Football Association was founded in the Autonomous Silesian Voivodeship in March 1920 . The area of ​​the then Autonomous Silesian Voivodeship and today's Silesian Voivodeship are not identical, so that today's Football Association of the Silesian Voivodeship is only indirectly connected to the team.

Three days after the founding of the Autonomous Voivodeship of Silesia, on June 18, 1920, the team's first game took place in Lipiny , against the club Czarni Lwów from the then Polish Lemberg (Polish Lwów, today Ukraine), Silesia with 3: 8 subject. Between 1924 and 1939, Polish Upper Silesia played 20 times against German Upper Silesia. Due to the story, these games were very emotional. The first game against Poland took place on October 4, 1933 . In 1937 the team won 3: 4 against the selection of the Basque Country; this was the only game that was not contested against the selection of the German part of Upper Silesia or the all-Polish association.

Since 1939

The first game of the selection after the war took place on August 15, 1945 against a selection from Warsaw and ended in a 3-3 draw. The first international game, after the end of the war, took place on June 16, 1946 against a selection of the French Rhine Army and was won 3-2. Then there were games against Czechoslovakia (1948, 2: 1), China (1952, 4: 1) and Tanzania (1974, 4: 1).

On December 9, 2006, for the first time since 1953, a game of the Upper Silesian selection against a Polish national team took place, it ended 1: 1 in a draw. It was a charity match for the benefit of the survivors of the mine disaster in Ruda Śląska in November 2006. Both teams played against each other four times. It was the last game of the selection so far, more games are being considered. Most recently, the team was trained by Antoni Piechniczek , the former national coach of Poland, Tunisia and the United Arab Emirates.
