Legia Warszawa

Legia Warszawa, known in English as Legia Warsaw, are a football club based in the Polish capital. The club was formed in March 1916 at Kostiuchnowka in Volhynia as the football team of the Polish Legions during the First World War, which gave it the name Legia. It moved to Warsaw later that year and was re-established there in 1920 as a military sports club. As the Polish Army's club for most of its history, Legia are nicknamed Wojskowi (the Military Men) and Legionisci (the Legionaries). They play at the Polish Army Stadium on Lazienkowska Street, officially the Stadion Miejski Legii Warszawa im. Marszalka Jozefa Pilsudskiego.

Legia are Poland's most decorated club. They have won a record 15 Ekstraklasa titles, a record 21 Polish Cups and six Polish Super Cups, and they have not been relegated from the top flight since the Second World War. Their first trophies came in 1955, when Janos Steiner's side won the first league and cup double in Polish football. Their most recent league title came in 2021. In 2025 they won the Polish Cup, beating Pogon Szczecin 4-3 in the final at the National Stadium, and then won the Super Cup 2-1 away to Lech Poznan. In Europe, Legia reached the European Cup semi-finals in 1970, the Cup Winners' Cup semi-finals in 1991, the Champions League quarter-finals in 1996 and the Conference League quarter-finals in 2025.
