History
The club has had many names since its foundation in 1947. They are listed below;
Śląsk is the Polish name of Silesia, the historical region in which Wrocław is located.
Honours
Supporters and Rivalries
They are among the largest supporter movements in Poland. They are one of the precursors football supporters in Poland (in the early 70). Śląsk supporters call themselves Nobles from Wrocław (Polish: Szlachta z Wrocławia). In the 1980s many of the club's fans were active in the Solidarity and Fighting Solidarity movement which were fighting the communist regime in Poland. It is therefore not unusual to see anticommunist and patriotic slogans on the stands.
They have a friendship with Lechia Gdańsk, and formerly Wisła Kraków, the three-way alliance known as "Three Kings of Great Cities", Polish: Trzej Królowie Wielkich Miast, however Wisła left the coalition and has become a rivalry. The coalition was to counter "The Great Triad" coalition of Lech Poznań, Arka Gdynia and Cracovia Kraków, all of whom remain big rivals.
Other friendships are with fans of Motor Lublin, Miedź Legnica and Czech SFC Opava. They also have a good relationship with the Ferencvárosi TC fans.
