The team was at the 2nd level of the Polish pyramid in the 1990s, but were relegated in 1998/99.[3] During the following season the club changed their name to TKP Torun, but they were relegated again to the 4th level.[4] The club were often referred to as Torunski KP, but by the 2007/08 season they had returned to their original name of Elana Torun and were back playing in the Polish 3rd level.[5]
Elana fans are commonly known as Elanowcy and include an ultras group of around 100-1000 (depending on match) fanatical supporters. Apart from Toruń, there are fan-clubs in Gniewkowo, Golub-Dobrzyń, Ostaszewo, Aleksandrów Kujawski, Ciechocinek, Kowalewo Pomorskie, Obrowo, Lubicz and Wąbrzeźno.[6]
They have a long-standing friendship with fans of Ruch Chorzów and KS Myszków (who are also Ruch fans), friendly relations with Widzew Łódź fans from Grudziądz,[7] and more recently Wisła Kraków and KKS Kalisz fans.
As the city of Toruń has a rivalry with Bydgoszcz that extends even beyond sport,[8] Elana competes the Cuiavian derby[9] with Zawisza and Polonia. They also compete with fans of speedway club Apator Toruń.
