Cracovia Krakow

Cracovia are a football club from Krakow and are widely regarded as the oldest Polish sports club still in existence. The club was founded on 13 June 1906 in Krakow and takes its name from Cracovia, the Latin name of the city. The team wear red and white, and their striped shirts give the club its nickname, Pasy, meaning The Stripes. Home matches are played at the Stadion Cracovii im. Jozefa Pilsudskiego, named after Marshal Jozef Pilsudski, on Jozef Kaluza Street in Krakow. The present stadium holds just over 15,000 spectators and staged the final of the 2017 UEFA European Under-21 Championship.

Cracovia were the first Polish champions, winning the first national championship in 1921. Further titles followed in 1930, 1932, 1937 and 1948, making five in all, and they finished as runners-up in 1934 and 1949. The 1948 title was decided by a play-off against city rivals Wisla Krakow, which Cracovia won 3-1 on 5 December 1948. After a long wait for a major trophy, the club won its first Polish Cup in 2020 under coach Michal Probierz and went on to win the 2020 Polish Super Cup. Cracovia's European record is modest: their Europa League campaigns, including 2019-20, have ended in the qualifying rounds.
