History
Wieczysta in the 20th century
During the Nazi occupation of Poland, Poles were not permitted to participate in organised sports events. To circumvent these restrictions, some football competitions were secretly held on the meadows of Rakowice, then a village on the borders of Kraków. Eventually, the local community, on the initiative of Edward Ignaszewski, decided to establish a sports club, thus forming Wieczysta Kraków in 1942.
During the 1950s-60s, Wieczysta played in the class A and B leagues (then the fourth and fifth tiers of the Polish football league system). In 1966 the Polish league system was reorganised, and the III Liga, the new regional third tier, was introduced. Wieczysta was included in the district league (the fourth tier) of the Polish league system. Performances at this level did not last long. In 1968 the team was relegated to class A (the fifth tier), and a year later it was relegated to the sixth tier. The latter years of the 20th century brought stabilization in the form of regular performances at the regional level.
Wieczysta at the onset of the 21th century
The club played the 1997–98 season in the IV liga, after winning promotion to the fourth tier. After six years at this level the club was relegated, finishing the 2002–03 season in the 18th position at the bottom of the table.
