Zagłębie Sosnowiec is our pride and glory!

Sosnowiec has over 100 years of history. Since its foundation in 1902, heavy industry has been the driving force of its development. Thus, the local community is mainly the working class employed in steelworks and mines operating in Sosnowiec.

Sosnowiec is located in the Silesian Voivodeship, the industrial heart of Poland, where huge plants mix with beautiful green areas, lakes, monuments and recreational areas. Thanks to excellent road and air transport, as well as close proximity to the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Germany, it is one of the fastest growing regions in the country.

Sosnowiec has over 200,000 inhabitants. It is located in Zagłębie Dąbrowskie, a region with a common culture, tradition and history. Its population is about half a million, and if we talk about the whole voivodeship, it has nearly 5 million people; modern industry and a fast developing economy make this region very attractive.

Football has always been a part of local culture and history. The first workers formed teams that competed with each other from the beginning of the 20th century. Zagłębie Sosnowiec was founded in 1906, as one of the first clubs in the history of Polish sport.
