In 2012 the club merged with the local academy UKP Zielona Góra, dropping the historic Lechia name and temporarily competed under the sponsor's name Stelmet Zielona Góra^[2] but the club eventually folded in 2015.

History

In 1946 at a car and bridge factory one of the first football clubs in Zielona Góra was established, the Workers' Sports Club "Wagmo" (short for "Wagons and Bridges" - the name of the factory, which was the progenitor of "Zastal"). During the reorganization of the sport, the club joined the "Stal" association in 1951, although the clubs name was changed in 1949. In 1952 the team was invited to the games of the 2nd league as a representative of the Zielona Góra Province established two years earlier. "Stal" finished the season in last 10th place and was relegated after just one season. In 1955 the club changed its name to "Zastal". In February 1957 the clubs name was changed to "KS Lechia". The "Zgrzeblarek" sports club was also included in the structure of the new club. Kucera became the president, and the board was supplemented by: Wietrzyński, Gałka, Smerda and Marciniak.

In July 2019 Lechia was reactivated on the basis of the Falubaz football club and joined the III liga (group III).
