History
The club was established in 1922, with the basketball section founded in 1930.[1] They competed in the Polish League until the summer of 1997, when due to financial and organizational problems, the club was withdrawn from the national league.
In European-wide competitions, a great achievement for Lech Poznań was its qualification to the EuroLeague's last 8 stage of the 1989–90 season, along with other clubs such as: Maccabi Tel Aviv, Olimpia Milano, Barcelona, Jugoplastika Split, Aris Thessaloniki, and Limoges.
