Lech Poznań II (Polish pronunciation: [lɛx ˈpɔznaj̃]) is the reserve team and the senior academy team of Lech Poznań, a Polish professional football club based in Poznań. The team and its facilities are based in Wronki.

They currently play in group II of the fourth tier of the league pyramid.

## Overview

[edit]

The team is intended to be the final step between Lech's academy and the first team, and usually consists promising youngsters between the age of 15 and 22, with a few veteran players drafted in to provide experience.

Occasionally, first team players are included in line-ups, to give them an opportunity to regain match fitness.

## History

[edit]

They are known for the remarkable feat of winning all 36 games in the 1994–95 IV liga season; it was the last season where 2 points were awarded for a win (instead of 3 points), which meant they finished on 72 points (would have been 108 in a three-point system).[citation needed]

They gained promotion in the 2003–04 season to the third tier after winning the league[1] and beating Jarota Jarocin 2–0 twice, 4–0 on aggregate.[2] In that same season, they reached the 1st round of the Polish Cup, but were knocked out by Górnik Konin following a 3–1 loss.[3] After the 2006–07 season,[4] the reserve teams were scrapped in favour of a central youth league, meaning that between 2007 and 2013 the team ceased to exist. They were reinstated to their previous league position for the 2013–14 season.[5]

They won promotion to II liga at the end of the 2018–19 season, making them the highest placed reserves team in Poland at the time.[6] They remained at the third tier for five years, before being relegated from the 2023–24 II liga after finishing 16th.[7]
