Current season

MKS Puszcza Niepołomice (Polish pronunciation: [ˈpuʂt͡ʂa ɲɛpɔwɔˈmit͡sɛ]) is a professional football club located in Niepołomice, Poland. It currently plays in the Ekstraklasa after achieving promotion from I liga in 2023. The team's colors are yellow, white and green.

History

Puszcza Niepołomice was originally called Sports Club Niepołomianka. The team was established on the initiative of mayor Andrzej Wimer and Stanisław Ziemba, Władysław Iwański, Stanisław Brudnik and Adolf Engel in 1923.

The first president of KS Niepołomianka was Władysław Iwański. The then board also included the treasurer Stanisław Brudnik and the manager of the team - Stanisław Ziemba.

On 11 June 2023, a year in which Puszcza celebrated their 100th anniversary, they won the 2022–23 I liga play-off final and achieved promotion to Ekstraklasa for the first time in the club's history.

In their first-ever top-flight season, Puszcza recorded upset wins and draws against title contenders, and were praised for their effective use of set-pieces to score the majority of their goals, as they finished the 2023–24 campaign in 12th. For their efforts, Tomasz Tułacz and Oliwier Zych were nominated for Coach of the Season and Goalkeeper of the Season awards, respectively.

Honours

Stadium

After earning promotion to Ekstraklasa, Puszcza Niepołomice host their home games at the Józef Piłsudski Cracovia Stadium in Kraków, due to ineligibility of their ground in Niepołomice to host top-flight matches.
