bit of history:
Football in Gdynia
was born in 1929 when Klub Sportowy
Gdynia was founded by the workers of Gdynia’s
seaport. The club named Arka was separated from KS Kolejarz Gdynia in 1952. RKS Arka
was promoted to Polish 2nd division in 1960. The fusion of Gdynia’s
clubs caused that Arka changed name to MZKS Arka Gdynia in 1964.
The 70s were the greatest age in Arka’s history.
The club was promoted first time to Polish 1st division in 1974. The
Yellow-Blues won the Polish Cup (Puchar Polski) in 1979 and played in the European Cup Winners’
Cup next season. Then they played against Bulgarian PFC Beroe
Stara Zagora (3-2 and 0-2).
In 1981 Arka changed name to Harmon-Tomas-Maraton Arka Gdynia till 1998,
when changed name to MGKS Arka Gdynia.
Arka became a sport joint
company and changed name to Prokom Arka Gdynia SSA in 2000. Currently the club was renamed
to Polnord Arka Gdynia
SSA, just because they have a new sponsor
