SKS Stoczniowiec Gdańsk

The club was founded on 27 September 1945 as KS Nit Gdańsk, and in several seasons were known as Stal Gdańsk. In the early years the team played in the lower regional divisions of Polish football. During the 1960s the team were playing in the third tier, often fighting for promotion. By this point the team was known as ZKS Polonia Gdańsk.[2] In 1970 Polonia experienced a merger with RKS Stocznia Północna, creating RKS Stoczniowiec Gdańsk.[3] The team finally achieved promotion to the second division in 1973 after winning their division, and finishing as runners up the previous season. The 1970s saw the team's high point in their history. The team enjoyed 9 seasons in the second division before being relegated in 1982. The team's greatest achievement so far came in the 1976/77 season when the team finished 3rd, just missing out on promotion to the top division.[4]

From 1982-1998 Polonia experienced another 3 seasons in the second tier, each time only lasting in the division for one season. The team won the third tier 3 times during this period, as well as finishing runners up a further 5 times.

1998 saw a merger with Lechia Gdańsk,[5] to create Lechia-Polonia Gdańsk. This merger saw an independent, and continuous team from that of the one founded in 1945 playing in the fifth tier, while Lechia/Polonia played in the second division. The Lechia/Polonia team ceased to exist form 2001, forcing both teams to start from the bottom tier of Polish football.

Polonia's fortunes never returned, and the team has since been playing in the lower divisions ever since. The highest the team has achieved since the turn of the century was 2 seasons in the third division, finishing 14th and 16th from 2012-14. Back to back relegation's meant the team were playing in the firth tier once again, and currently find themselves playing in the District Division - Gdańsk Group I[6] In 2020 the team returned to the "Stoczniowiec Gdańsk" name.
