Polonia Przemyśl is a Polish sports club, located in the south-eastern city of Przemyśl. Founded in 1909, it is one of the oldest sports associations in Poland.
History
The club, whose hues are white-red-blue, supports two departments - soccer and men’s basketball. Soccer team plays in the regional league of the Subcarpathian Voivodeship, while the basketball side plays in the second division, group three. Polonia’s basketball team was a powerhouse in Poland in the mid-1990s, when it was second in Poland (1995) and third (1996).
The idea of creating a football club came from Lviv (which was under Polish control.) The team itself was created by Z. Ritterschild and J. Theobald. The new organization was formed in the fall of 1909, and adopted the name "San" - Przemyśl was still under Austrian rule, the name "Polonia" could not therefore be accepted. The first official meeting of the team 'San' played in 1910, against the team's rival "Slavia", composed of Czech and Slovak military members in the garrison of Przemyśl. The team "San" lost "inaugural" match 2-3. The team is one of the oldest Polish football teams.
In the years 1910 -1914 the team played a total of 26 games, including the victory in 1914 against Resovia 2-1.
Polonia Przemyśl finished the III liga during the 2012/2013 season 7 out of 16 teams. They had a total of 43points with a total of 12 wins, 7 draws and 11 losses. They managed to score 52 goals overall: 33 home and 19 away and lost a total of 41: 15 home and 26 away with an overall goal difference of 11.
