Kotwica Kołobrzeg (Polish pronunciation: [kɔˈtfit͡sa kɔˈwɔbʐɛk]) is a football club based in Kołobrzeg, Poland. Founded in 1946, it is currently in the process of being disestablished after filing for insolvency in June 2025.

History

On 19 May 2024, the final matchday of the 2023–24 II liga season, Kotwica won 2–0 against Hutnik Kraków at home and secured their first-ever promotion to the second tier.[2] Despite their historical success, Kotwica continued to be marred by financial and management issues from previous years, such as unpaid wages,[3] lack of involvement from chairman Adam Dzik, alleged poor treatment of injured and unwanted players, which included suing them for "reputational damage",[4] and taking legal action against journalists reporting on the club.[5][6] On 26 May 2025, they were relegated after a 1–2 loss to Bruk-Bet Termalica Nieciecza and Pogoń Siedlce's 2–1 win over Warta Poznań on the last matchday.[7]

Kotwica were denied a license to compete in the 2025–26 II liga, and did not appeal the decision.[8] On 23 June 2025, a day after releasing all players and coaching staff via an e-mail,[9] Kotwica filed for insolvency.[10] On 25 June, a phoenix club was established under the name of Morski Klub Sportowy Kotwica Kołobrzeg, retaining the rights to its predecessor's name, crest and records.[11]
