During the Second Republic of Poland the club was one of four teams from Lwów that played in the Polish Football First league[2] (season 1931 – 12th). The club became two times champion of Lwów District League (liga okręgowa) where it spent 17 seasons. After invasion of Poland by the Soviet forces in 1939 the club was dissolved and its place was formed FC Lokomotyv Lviv. The club's name comes from Lechia, the original name for Poland.[3]

The club's tradition as a Polish club was continued by people expelled from Lwów who moved to Gdańsk and created Lechia Gdańsk after war in 1945 such as Ryszard Koncewicz.

General information



Honours



Retro league


In 2019, the Lechia Lwów team had been reconstructed by the historical reconstruction association in Poland as part of the Retro Liga project. The players play in carefully recreated costumes and shoes according to the rules of 1938.[4] The teams chosen for the Retro Liga were those forced to disband in 1939 after the outbreak of World War II. The other teams who took part were WKS Kutno, WKS Łowicz, WKS Grodno (Grodno were not reformed as the borders after WWII meant they were now in Belorussian territory), and Śmigły Wilno (Śmigły were not reformed as the borders after WWII meant they were now in Lithuanian territory).

Lechia Lwów were crowned the inaugural winners of the Retro Liga for the 2019 season.[5]
