Hutnik Kraków (Polish pronunciation: [ˈxutɲik ˈkrakuf]) is a Polish football club based in Kraków, Poland.

## History

[edit]

The club was founded in 1950. Hutnik have played seven seasons in the Polish top-flight. The team's greatest success is a third place in the 1995–96 season, as a result of which they qualified for the UEFA Cup. In that tournament, Hutnik eliminated Khazri Buzovna from Azerbaijan (9–0 and 2–2), Czech side Sigma Olomouc (0–1 and 3–1), but were themselves eliminated by Monaco (0–1 and 1–3).

The team was dissolved due to its debts and refounded by its fans as Hutnik Nowa Huta in 2010. They were admitted to Polish fifth division.

The England national team trained at Hutnik's grounds for the Euro 2012 tournament.[3]

Among most famous players who began their careers at Hutnik youth academy are Marcin Wasilewski, Zbigniew Płaszewski, Jan Karaś, Kazimierz Putek, Marek Koźmiński, Dariusz Romuzga, Łukasz Sosin and Michał Pazdan.

## Fans

[edit]

Traditionally, Hutnik is considered the third largest team in Kraków, behind fierce city rivals Cracovia and Wisła. The majority of their fanbase is from the district of Nowa Huta and club has 3 fan-clubs: Igołomia&Pobiednik, Szczyrzyc, Górale (which compromises of fans from Zakopane and Nowy Targ).[4]

In recent years the team has spent much of its time in the lower divisions unlike their neighbouring rivals, and the city derbies have usually been played against the reserve teams. As a result, they have developed rivalries with other teams such as Unia Tarnów, and Resovia Rzeszów,[4] as well as KSZO Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski and Stal Stalowa Wola with whom they contest the Steelworks derbies.[5]

The fans have friendly relations with fans of 1.FC Magdeburg, which started after one of the Magdeburg fans logged onto a Hutnik fan forum.[4] They also have good relations with fans of Stomil Olsztyn[4] and Wisła Płock.[6] There are also some friendly contacts with fans of Dynamo Kyiv.[7]
