Miejski Klub Sportowy Sokół Nisko, commonly referred to as Sokół Nisko (pronounced as /pol/), is a Polish football club based in Nisko, Podkarpackie Voivodeship. In the 2024–25 season, they compete in the IV liga Subcarpathia, after winning the Stalowa Wola group of the regional league the season prior.[2] The club's name literally means falcon in Polish, and it comes from the Polish Gymnastic Society Sokół.[3]

History

The club was founded in 1919, primarily participating in the Lwów's sub-district B-class.[3] After World War II, from 1944 the club operated under the name OMTUR Nisko, and later, in the early period of the Polish People's Republic, it operated under other names under the nomenclature of sports associations: Zenit Nisko, Związkowiec Nisko and Ogniwo Nisko.[4] [3] The greatest success of this team were appearances in III liga, then the third tier. From the 2008–09 season, the team regularly plays between the 5th and 6th football's level.[5]

In the 2007–08 and 2008–09 seasons, the club won the Polish Cup at the level of the Stalowa Wola sub-district, defeating Tłoki Gorzyce after penalties and Siarka Tarnobrzeg in extra time with a score of 5–4.
