History

Pogoń Tczew was founded in 2016 when the women's section of Gryf Tczew broke away to form a separate club. Their first game as an independent club was played against AZS-AWFiS Gdańsk.[2]

The 2021–2022 season saw Pogoń Tczew promoted from the I liga into the Ekstraliga for the first time in their history.[3] By the winter break of the 2022–23 season, Pogoń Tczew's debut in the Ekstraliga, the team were in the relegation zone,[4] however they went on to finish the season in ninth position in the table.[5] The following season, they finished one place higher, sealing Medyk Konin's relegation in their final match.[6]

At the start of the 2024–25 season, the club was fined 1,000 by the PZPN for procedural irregularities in their licensing application.[7] In September 2024, it was reported that Pogoń Tczew striker Magdalena Sobal, who had recently made her debut for the national team, had signed a three-year deal with Juventus, initially going out on loan to Brescia.[8]
