Predecessors Lechia Poznań Speedway in Poznan was active during the inaugural
1948 Polish speedway season.
Lechia Poznań was one of two clubs to compete in the very first edition of the Championships. The team only competed until the end of
1950.
Unia Poznań A second club called
Unia Poznań also started in 1948 and continued until the end of 1950, although they did compete in the regional leagues in 1951 as did another team called
Kolejarz Poznań. Under their new name
Olimpia Poznań, they were due to compete in the
third division in
1957 but received a one year ban from the authorities. The 1957 season proved to be the last for teams from Poznań for 34 years, although meetings were still held in the city at the Stadion Golęcin.
Polonez Poznań In 1991,
Polonez Poznań were formed and raced in the second division. The return of speedway was boosted by the stadium securing the
1991 Speedway World Pairs Championship. However, the season turned out to be a disaster because Polonez were declared bankrupt after just one season.
Current club Foundation and stadium issues In 2004, in an attempt to revive the city's rich speedway traditions, a new club called "PSŻ Poznań" was created by local speedway fans, after over a decade of absence of the sport in the area. The club noted its first start in
2006, in which they came 2nd in the
2. Liga and won promotion after beating
KSM Krosno in a promotion play-off. The club won its first individual medal in 2007 when
Daniel Pytel was third in
Individual U-21 Polish Championship. A year later,
Adam Skórnicki became the
Polish Champion. In
2011 season, the team were relegated to 2. Liga and after issues with the stadium's owners
Olimpia concerning rent fees, the club was left homelessand did not enter a team for the
2012 season. Although the club did not cease to exist they campaigned for the Olimpia stadium, which in the meantime fell into complete disrepair and ruin, owned by the Polish police, to be taken over by the city council. Upon lengthy but ultimately successful takeover by the city, the club began to repair the stadium under a new project called
Sportowy Golaj, a joint venture with
mountain biking enthusiasts and the Poznań Patriots
american football team. The complete rebuilding of the stadium was completed in 2015.
Re-launch and return The team returned to action in
2017 and during the
2022 Polish Speedway season the team won the
2. Liga title. ==Previous teams==
