History
The club was founded on 5 November 1910 (1910-11-05) as Towarzystwo Miłośników Rozwoju Fizycznego Widzew (Society of Lovers of Physical Development Widzew) in Widzew, a then suburb (now district) of Łódź. In 1922 the club transformed into Robotnicze Towarzystwo Sportowe Widzew (Workers' Sports Society Widzew).
Widzew has won four Polish league championships (in 1981, 1982, 1996 and 1997) and the 1985 Polish Cup.
They have appeared in 117 matches in European Cups, of which they won 42. Widzew knocked European giants Manchester United out of the 1980-81 UEFA Cup although their biggest achievement was reaching the semi-final of the 1982–83 European Cup.
Recent history
In the beginning of season 2007/2008 Widzew was bought by one of the most wealthy man in Poland - Sylwester Cacek.
In January 2008, while playing in the Second League, the Polish Football Association ruled that Widzew Łódź should be relegated due to their involvement in a corruption scandal. However, Widzew became champion that year, and were allowed to stay in the second division, which was renamed First League (I liga) before the start of the 2008-2009 season. Despite the deduction of six points as a penalty, Widzew managed to become champions once again, and were finally promoted to the Ekstraklasa. In total, Widzew played 35 seasons at the highest level before being relegated in the 2013-2014 season.
Due to financial problems, Widzew finished last at the end of the 2014–15 I Liga season. Subsequently, the club ruled by Sylwester Cacek went bankrupt.
In consequence local businessmen led by Marcin Ferdzyn and Grzegorz Waranecki decided to take on amateur status as a new association called Stowarzyszenie Reaktywacja Tradycji Sportowych Widzew Łódź (Association of the Reactivation of the Sports Traditions of Widzew Łódź), which continues tradition of old RTS Widzew Łódź. New association was registered in polish court in 2.07.2015 and within few weeks of summer 2015 they managed to find new coach Witold Obarek and collect new squad, which started season 2015/2016 in fifth tier of Polish football.

Stadium
The club's home stadium was the Stadion Widzewa, also called Stadion im. Ludwika Sobolewskiego, which opened in 1930. The stadium, which was owned by the city of Łódź, had a capacity of 10,500 seats. In early 2015, it was demolished to make way for a new stadium with 18,000 seats. It was intended the new stadium will be completed by November 2016.
In the 2014-2015 season, its last season as a professional club, Widzewa played their home matches in Byczyna near Poddębice, 40 km west of Łódź.
After bankruptcy and relegation to 4th division a rebuilt team plays its domestic games in Łódź on UKS SMS Łódź stadium, during the construction of a new Stadion Widzewa stadium.

Widzew has one of the largest fan-bases in Poland with fan-clubs all around the country. Widzew's biggest rival is ŁKS Łódź, with who they contest the Łódź Derby.
