Skra Częstochowa is a Polish football club based in Częstochowa, Poland. In the 2024–25 season, they compete in group III of the III liga, having suffered back-to-back relegations.

History[edit]

The club was founded in 1926. In 1946, Skra became the Częstochowa district champions and won promotion to the Polish championships played in the cup system. In the round of 16, the team lost 3–5 to Tęcza Kielce. In the 1947 season, Skra continued to play in the central games in the fight for the title of Polish Champion and qualification for the League in the 1948 season. The team took 7th place in the group, not being promoted to the league. Until 1952, the team played in the second league. From 1950 to 1954, the club operated under the name Ogniwo Częstochowa. Between 1953 and 1966, they competed in the third league. In 2018, the club was promoted to the II liga (third-tier), and won promotion to I liga three years later.

Stadium[edit]

Skra stadium

Skra plays their home games at the Miejski Stadion Piłkarski Skra in Częstochowa, with capacity of 990. Because their stadium didn’t meet the capacity requirements of the I liga, in the first part of the 2021–22 season they played every home match on the opponent’s stadiums, as the home team. From 7 April 2022 to 8 April 2023, they hosted their games at a substitute stadium GIEKSA Arena in Bełchatów.[1]

Former players[edit]

Jerzy Orłowski and Romuald Chojnacki played in the Poland national team, Titas Milašius played for the Lithuania national team.
