Cheà Âmianka Cheà Âm is a Polish football club from Cheà Âm, Lublin Voivodeship. They currently compete in group IV of the III liga, the fourth tier of the Polish football league system. The club has traditional colors of Cheà Âm Land white and green.
The club was founded in 1955 through the merger of several smaller football clubs operating in Cheà Âm. Until 1992, the club officially carried the prefix Robotniczy Klub Sportowy, the Workers Sports Club, a prefix with which the fans still identify with. Since 1959, the club benefited from the PKWM Stadium (currently called the Municipal Stadium). In the summer of 1961, the merging of local clubs into one side continued and Cheà Âmianka merged with local amateur club Kolejarz Cheà Âm.
In 1974, the club was officially taken in by the newly formed Cheà Âm Footwear Market (Cheà Âmskie Zakà Âady Obuwia in Polish, ChZO for short). Despite the increase in funding for Cheà Âmianka players, they never managed to play higher than the third division, suffering two relatively insignificant further mergers with lower league sides LZS Gryf Cheà Âm and RKS Rejowiec.
In 1992, the club was on the edge of bankruptcy but the ChZO continued to fund the club. The team was withdrawn from competition and merged with the Polish Border Guard club Gwardia Cheà Âm, with the new club called Granica meaning "Border", which started competing in the fourth division. Games were moved to Gwardia's old stadium, the Lublin Street Stadium, however the venue fell into disrepair. Soon, the club MKS Granica was handed over the city of Cheà Âm by their owners, the Polish Border Guards, in 1999. In the spring of 1998, football competitions returned to the city stadium. After the 1998âÂÂ99 season, the club was relegated from the fourth division.
In light of the financial difficulties, it was decided to create the "Cheà Âm Sports Club" (Cheà Âmski Klub Sportowy) to replace MKS Granica. Under this new name, the club performed in the fifth tier until 2001. Upon promotion to the fourth league, the club returned to its historical name "Cheà Âmianka".
The start of organised support in Cheà Âm reaches as early as the mid 70's, when locals started supporting the local team as the club started to rise up the leagues. The club has currently two groups, Young Fighters ClanâÂÂ06 and Spiryt Brigade and the ultras stand usually consists of 80âÂÂ150 fans with that number rising to around 250 for more important matches.
The fans have good relations with fans of Motor Lublin and Górnik à ÂÃÂczna, with the friendship with Motor dating as far back as 1981. They have rivalries with the following local rivals: Avia à Âwidnik, Unia Hrubieszów, Hetman Zamoà ÂÃÂ, Wisà Âa Puà Âawy, à Âada Bià Âgoraj and OrlÃÂta à Âuków.
