Wisła Tczew is a Polish professional football and boxing club based in Tczew, Kociewie, Poland.[1]

Founded in 1924, the club has traditionally worn a white and red strip for both home and away appearances. The club takes its name from the Polish word for the Vistula which runs through Tczew.

History

The club was first established as the Wisła Bowling Club in 1924, while its football section was founded in 1927.[2] In 1932, Wisła achieved its best success in the interwar history, coming 3rd place in Klasa B, which gave the club the opportunity to fight in the finals for promotion to Klasa A.[3] Following the 2007/2008 season Wisła advanced from the liga okręgowa to the IV liga.[4]

In June 2009, there was a record transfer in the club's history when Paweł Wszołek was sold to Polonia Warsaw. In the 2009/2010 season, following a merger with the second Tczew football club, Unia Tczew, a new club Gryf Tczew was created. In August 2009, senior Wisła juniors, already representing Gryf, under the care of Mikołaj Bykowski and Krzysztof Śliwa, were successful in winning 3rd place in the U-18 category in the prestigious Remes Cup tournament after winning the qualifying group against Polonia Warsaw, among others.

On May 22, 2015, the reactivation of the Wisła Tczew club was announced. In the 2015–2016 season, Wisła joined the Klasa B competition.[5] In the 2015/2016 season the club was promoted to Klasa A.[6] In the 2017/2018 season, Wisła advanced to the liga okręgowa.[7]

In addition to the football section, the club also has a boxing section.[8]
