1. FC Katowice is a Polish football club from Katowice, Silesian Voivodeship and was founded in 2007 as a reactivation by the Silesian Autonomy Movement of the 1945 dissolved 1. FC Kattowitz.
The club was reactivated in 2007, and spent most of its time in the klasa B (eighth league level).
The women's section started in the 3rd tier, but has managed two promotions and won the promotion to the Ekstraliga in 2010âÂÂ11. As a result of the expansion of the Ekstraliga in 2010âÂÂ11, a third-place finish in the 2009âÂÂ10 I liga was enough to reach the promotion play-offs, which they won. The women's section played in the top level Ekstraliga Kobiet in the 2010âÂÂ11, 2011âÂÂ12 and 2014âÂÂ15 season. Before the 2015âÂÂ16 season, the team withdrew from I liga.
In 2015, the women's section was disbanded, citing financial problems. There were plans to transfer the team to GKS Katowice, but eventually GKS re-founded their own women's section.
