Broń Radom is a Polish professional football club based in Radom, Poland. They play in group I of the III liga, the fourth tier.
History
The history of the organization dates back to 1926, when workers of FB "Łucznik" Radom formed the Club of Cyclists and Motorcyclists Broń (Polish word broń means "weapon" in English, as FB Łucznik, the main sponsor of the club, was a firearms manufacturer). In the course of time, other departments were added, and the organization changed its name to Klub Sportowy Broń. With financial support of the Łucznik plant, Broń emerged as the largest sports organization in the city of Radom. By the early 1930s, Broń had such departments, as archery, tennis, boxing, volleyball, cycling and football. Construction of a new stadium and a swimming pool was initiated, and a cycling track was built.
The organization continued to prosper after World War II. In the 1960 Olympic Games in Rome, Broń's own Kazimierz Paździor won gold medal in lightweight boxing. Broń's cyclist Andrzej Michalak qualified to the 1980 Olympic Games, also its tennis players were recognized nationwide.
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Broń's football team played in the second tier of Polish football system. Among most famous players who began their careers there were Kazimierz Przybyś, Tomasz Dziubiński (two caps for Poland), and Rafał Siadaczka (17 caps for Poland).
In 1996, several departments became independent, and football team was renamed into Radomski Klub Piłkarski Broń 1926 Radom.
