Krośnieński Klub Sportowy Karpaty Krosno
"Karpaciarze"
KKS Karpaty Krosno is a Polish sports club based in Krosno, Poland. The name "Karpaty" refers to the Carpathian mountains.
The football side is currently playing in the Third Polish Division, the men's volleyball team plays in the II division, whereas the women's team competes in the I division.
The club was established in 1928.
The football section has played in the lower divisions of Polish football throughout history. They have never played in the top flight however they had four spells in the 2nd tier: between the 1951-1953 seasons (under the name of Włókniarz Krosno), 1957-1963/1964 (under the names of Legia Krosno, MZKS Krosno and Karpaty Krosno), 1987/1988-1988/1989, and also 1991/1992-1994/1995. The well-known Polish manager Orest Lenczyk coached Karpaty in the early days of his career in 1970-71. Former Stal Mielec legend Marian Kosiński was manager in 1989/90 and 1991/92.
Their biggest success to date is the 1992/93 season where they achieved a 4th place league finish and the 1/16th finals of the Polish Cup, eventually losing to Legia Warsaw 1:3 on the 21st October.
Despite little success on the field, Karpaty have a small but loyal support, at both volleyball and football matches.
The football fan movement in Krosno started in 1987/1988 when the club was promoted to the 2nd tier. They have friendly contacts with fans of Glinik Gorlice, Unia Tarnów,Nafta Jedlicze, Stal Rzeszów, Hungarian team Zalegeszereg and until 2002, Widzew Łódź[1]. The team currently has from 50 to 250 active supporters per game, but that number can rise up to 600 for important matches.
