History

edit

The BTS Rekord sports club was founded in the Lipnik district of Bielsko-Biała in 1994 as BTS Lipnik Bielsko-Biała by Janusz Szymura, the president of a local IT company "Rekord".[2] With Rekord's main focus being their futsal team, the association football section was established in 1999, and started competing in Klasa C from the 1999–2000 season onwards.

After spending a few years in lower divisions, Rekord was promoted to the regional league in 2004, and went up to the fifth division four years later. On 30 June 2013, Rekord won the promotion play-off against Górnik Piaski, earning the right to compete in the III liga, where they would spend the following eleven seasons.[3]

On 8 June 2024, Rekord sealed their first ever promotion to the third tier, after sealing a group III championship with a 2–1 victory over Górnik Polkowice.[4]
