Lechia Zielona Góra is a Polish football club located in Zielona Góra. The team's colors are blue and yellow. They currently compete in the II liga after earning promotion from the II liga in the 2025–26 season.
In 2012, the club merged with the local academy UKP Zielona Góra, dropping the historic Lechia name and temporarily competed under the sponsor's name Stelmet Zielona Góra[1] but the club eventually folded in 2015. The club formed the basis of a new club Falubaz Zielona Góra; in 2019, Lechia was reactivated on its basis in turn.
History
[edit]In 1946 one of the first football clubs in Zielona Góra was established at a car and bridge factory, named the Workers' Sports Club "Wagmo" (short for "Wagons and Bridges" - the name of the factory, which was the progenitor of "Zastal"). During the reorganization of the sport, the club joined the "Stal" association in 1951, although the clubs name was changed in 1949. In 1952, the team was invited to the games of the second tier as a representative of the Zielona Góra Province established two years earlier. "Stal" finished the season in last 10th place and was relegated after just one season. In 1955, the club changed its name to "Zastal". In February 1957, the club's name was changed to "KS Lechia". The "Zgrzeblarek" sports club was also included in the structure of the new club. Kucera became the president, and the board was supplemented by: Wietrzyński, Gałka, Smerda and Marciniak.
In July 2019, Lechia was reactivated on the basis of the Falubaz football club and joined group III of the III liga. On 30 May 2026, Lechia were crowned III liga's group III champions and earned promotion to the third tier after a 2–1 win over Górnik Polkowice.[2]
