WKP Włocłavia Włocławek is Polish football club from Włocławek, Poland.

History

The clubs history is that of relative obscurity, languishing in the lower leagues usually around the 5th to 3rd tiers of football throughout its history. In the 1996/1997 season, the team started to climb slightly up the leagues due to various complicated mergers with Jagiellonka and Wisła, causing various name changes such as Jagiellonka/Wisła Włocławek in 1997 for example. Despite this, as the level of football standard rose so did the attendances, reaching an all time high of 7000 spectators for the inaugural match of their highest ever league start, the Second Division in 1997. Successive relegations followed, and after relegation from the Third Division the club was disbanded. The club was however refounded under the name Włocłavia and started the 1999/2000 season in the fifth tier. Recently the clubs fortunes have improved slightly, winning the regional Polish Cup in 2013.
