Football club

Gwardia's stadium and clubhouse are located on 34 Falata Street, and stadium's capacity is 950.

Even though Gwardia's football team has never won promotion to the Ekstraklasa, the club raised several notable players, such as Piotr Rzepka, Mirosław Okoński, Miroslaw Trzeciak, Robert Dymkowski, also Sebastian Mila, who was transferred there in his early teens, from a local side Baltyk Koszalin. Gwardia spent some years in Polish Second Division, and the biggest success of its football team was reaching quarter-finals of the Polish Cup, in 1975–76, when, after beating Gornik Zabrze, they lost to Śląsk Wrocław. Up to the 2016–17 season, the team participated in the III liga.

In June 2017, the football team was promoted to II liga. [2]
