Tarnów . With white and red hues, the club's founders wanted to emphasize their patriotism, during the time when their homeland was divided into three powers (see:Partitions of Poland ).Tarnovia was based on two smaller teams, which had been created by students of local high schools in 1906 and 1908. These organizations, called "Bialo-Czerwoni" and "Pogon", merged in 1909, creating Tarnovia. In the interbellum period its soccer team played in Kraków's A-Class (see:
Lower Level Football Leagues in Interwar Poland ).In 1948 Tarnovia was promoted to Polish First Division, but remained there only for one year and was relegated. Tarnovia's most famous player is
Antoni Barwinski , who was capped 16 times for the Polish National Team. Currently, Tarnovia's soccer team plays in the local league of Tarnów.Tarnovia also supports other departments than soccer - women's volleyball, climbing and table tennis.
