RKS Radomiak Radom is a Polish football club based in Radom, Poland.
It was founded in 1910. It achieved 2nd place in the 3rd division in season 2003/2004 and was promoted to the 2nd division in season 2004/2005. In season 2010/2011 Radomiak achieved 4th place (III liga). Promotion back to (II liga) was achieved in the 2011/2012 season with a first placed league finish.
In 1910, when the football leagues had been established for a number of years, the Russian rulers of Poland gave permission for the formation of the "Radomskie Towarzystwo Sportowe" (lit: The Sporting Fellowship of Radom, or Radom Sports Association). The newly formed RTS was made up of five sections, namely football, cycling, tennis, ice skating and gymnastics. By this, time Milan had been crowned champions of Italy on three separate occasions (1901, 1906, 1907) whilst Poland would have to wait until 1921 to see Cracovia crowned as its first Champions. On 18 December of the same year, the Polish national side lost 1:0 to Bulgaria in their first ever international game. It was a year before the footballers of RKS played their first game – a 5:2 loss to Stella Warszawa. These were the beginnings of the club now known as RKS Radomiak.
In 1924, Radom Sports Association won promotion to Warsaw Class B, which was the second level of Polish football system at that time (the Ekstraklasa was not created until 1927). In 1925, it won promotion to Warsaw Class A, and in 1928, all teams from Radom were moved to Kielce League, which covered the cities of Radom, Kielce, and the region of Zagłębie Dąbrowskie. Radom Sports Association won promotion to the Kielce League (Class A), beating Hakoah Będzin and KS Sosnowiec. After winning the Kielce League, Radom played in the playoffs to the Ekstraklasa, to be defeated by both Podgorze Kraków and Naprzód Lipiny.
