The past of Polish football is over 100 years old. Despite the fact that the political turmoil associated with the changes in borders after 1945 caused the teams that formed the Polish league from the beginning (e.g. Pogoń Lwów; Pogoń Vilnius), inactive in the Polish extraclass are the teams that gave the backing to the Polish league. 1 of them is Widzew Łódź.
The club's origins date back to the times before the First planet War, erstwhile Łódź was within the limits of the Russian Empire. Being the industrial capital of Poland, it increased the population very rapidly during this period. However, demographic heights gave emergence to the hazard of thousands of young Poles losing their jobs in Łódź manufaktura looking for their happiness.
To remedy this, the Society of Physical improvement Lovers was established in 1910. After Poland regained its independence, this company was renamed the Workers' athletics Society Widzew. It happened in 1922.[1]. 2 years later, the club became a Class B champion of the Łódź territory and thus moved to Class A[2].
In 1928, RTS Widzew, after a long conflict in the local master's degree, received a tiny area for the construction of a football field and athletic treadmill. The determination of the club's founders at the time is evidenced by the fact that due to the deficiency of funds to carry out earthworks, members at an extraordinary gathering agreed that everyone would work at least 20 hours, and those who could not pay the equivalent of PLN 50.
Due to this initiative, the pitch was prepared in the same year and was parked in the spring of 1929. This action received a number of praises from the sports activists of the time, which was assessed nationally as (...) uncommon accident in the life of clubs across Poland[3].
From the very beginning, same - discipline was given urgent attention. An example of this is simply a message issued by the board of the Workers' athletics Society Widzew from January 1934. It informed about the deadlines for registration of members of the club. Non-regulation of associate States' contributions resulted in deletion from the list of members. However, given the economical crisis in the country at the time, it was decided that ... are exempt from membership fees on the basis of an unemployed card[4].
The first crucial success came in 1932 erstwhile Widzew reached for the title of Master of Polish Workers' Clubs. In the final match played in Dąbrowa Górnicza RKS Widzew tied with RKS Zagłębie 3:3. A second match was played in Łódź to choice the winner, where Widzew won 3:2[5]. RKS Widzew was one more time close to winning the title of Polish Champion Association of Workers' Sports Associations.
The championship was held in Tomaszów Mazowiecki on 5-6 October 1935. In the final RKS Widzew met with RKS Lviv. At the time of the game, a draw of 2:2 fell. Therefore, the ZRSS Football Division appointed a re-game for 15 August 1936, ending with a score of 3:1 (1:0) for the Lviv team[6]. The club's improvement interrupted planet War II. However, as early as July 1945, Widzew's combined squad played a match with the Pabianic Cyclists Society, yielding 7:2.[7].
