history

The traditional founding date - 1906 - goes back to an association of workers at the works in Milowice , a district of Sosnowiec that was incorporated in 1915.

Zagłębie Sosnowiec was founded in 1918 under the name TS Union Sosnowiec . In 1931 TS Union Sosnowiec merged with TS Victoria Sosnowiec .

In 1954 the club rose as Stal Sosnowiec for the first time in the Ekstraklasa and was runner-up in its first season in 1955. The following year, today's stadium was inaugurated on October 21, 1956, at that time in front of 30,000 spectators during a game against Gwardia Bydgoszcz , which ended 1-1. After a temporary relegation at the end of the 1958 season, the club became one of the most successful football clubs in Poland in the 1960s.

On January 25, 1962, it was decided at a general meeting to change the club name to GKS Zagłębie Sosnowiec . In the same year succeeded by a 2-1 victory over Górnik Zabrze in the final to win the Polish Cup , which could be repeated in 1963 against Ruch Chorzów . As a result, the club took part in the European Cup Winners' Cup, where they did not get beyond the first round. Against Olympiacos Piraeus achieved a 1-0 win at home, which achieved a record 40,000 spectators. In the decider in Vienna, the club was ultimately defeated. In addition, Zagłębie was again runner-up in 1963/64 and 1966/67.

In 1971 they made the next move into the cup final, where they lost 3-1 to their opponent from 1962, Górnik Zabrze. At the end of the 1970s, the club was able to repeat its success of 1962 and 1963 when they won two cups in a row in 1977 and 1978. The 1978 cup win is the club's last title so far. In the following years, the club continued to play in the Ekstraklasa, although further successes failed to materialize, the best result was a fifth place in 1984/85. 1986 followed the descent from the top division. In 1989 they managed to return to the first division, in which they could hold out until 1992. Then followed the relegation to the second and 1993 directly to the third division. Due to financial problems, the association had to file for bankruptcy on July 15, 1993.

In 1993/94 the club began to rebuild in the fifth division and was able to work its way up to the second division by 2000 . In 2001 the association was converted into a stock corporation. In the 2007/08 season Sosnowiec played first class again for the first time since 1992, but was the last to miss relegation significantly. Because of a corruption scandal, the club was also transferred to the third-class 2nd division . Zagłębie Sosnowiec has been back in the first division since the 2015/16 season . In 2017/18 the club managed to return to the Ekstraklasa as runner-up behind Miedź Legnica , from which they were the last to be relegated.
