About KS Cracovia

Cracovia is one of the oldest football clubs in Poland and an important part of the country’s sporting history. Founded in 1906 in Kraków, the club played a major role in the development of Polish football before and after Poland regained independence. Cracovia was among the founding members of the Polish league system and became known for its strong traditions, academic identity, and loyal supporters. The club’s white-and-red striped colors earned it the nickname “Pasy” (“The Stripes”).

Cracovia achieved significant success during the early decades of Polish football, winning several national championships and establishing itself as one of the strongest teams in the country. The club developed a historic rivalry with Wisła Kraków, creating the “Holy War” derby, which is considered one of the oldest and fiercest football rivalries in Poland. Throughout its history, Cracovia has experienced both successful periods and difficult years, including relegations and financial struggles.

The club plays its home matches at the Marshal Józef Piłsudski Stadium in Kraków and remains an important symbol of the city’s football culture. In recent decades, Cracovia has returned to the top level of Polish football and added new achievements, including winning the Polish Cup. Known for its rich history, traditional identity, and passionate fan base, Cracovia continues to hold a respected place in Polish football.
