History
In 1989, Mieszko's senior team achieved the greatest success in the club's history, reaching the quarter-finals of the Polish Cup at the central level. After eliminating teams such as Gwardia Warszawa, Śląsk Wrocław and Szombierki Bytom, Mieszko had to face Legia Warsaw. There were no shocks however, in Gniezno despite the support of over 15,000 fans Mieszko lost 0:5, and in Warsaw they lost 1:5 (an honorary goal by Tomasz Kurowski).
Recent years
