History

[edit]

The creation of the handball division dates back to 1947, when Pogoń Zabrze, founded in 1945, decided to create a handball division in addition to football and gymnastics. The creator of Pogoń handball was Józef Cholewa.[1] In 1959, Pogoń's handball players were promoted to the first league and finished 6th in their debut season. In the 1966/1967 season, the club won the bronze medal of the Polish championship. Then the club was relegated from the first division. In the years 1973–2000, he played again in the first league. In the 1975/1976 and 1978/1979 seasons, he won a silver medal in the Polish championship. 1984 and 1988, the team won the Polish Cup. In the 1988/1989 season, the team took 2nd place in the table behind Wybrzeże Gdańsk. In the final of the championship, they defeated the favorite team from Gdańsk 2:1, thereby becoming the Polish champion. In the 1989/1990 season, the team won its second league title and its third cup victory. It was relegated from the top league in the 1999/2000 season. He returned to the top league in the 2001/2002 season. The team commuted up and down for a while between the first and second divisions. After many years, in the 2013/2014 season, the team again won the bronze medal in the Polish championship. Górnik's most successful player in the league was Michał Kubisztal, who scored 194 goals and became the top scorer of the Polish Superliga. Mariusz Jurasik (167 goals) and Bartłomiej Tomczak (148 goals) also ranked high on the goalscoring list.[2] In 2020, 2023 and 2024, the team won bronze medals again.
