Away coloursOdra Opole (Polish pronunciation: [ˈɔdra ɔˈpɔlɛ]) is a football (soccer) club based in Opole, Poland, currently playing in the Polish First League (second highest division in Poland). It was founded by resettled Poles from Lwów in 1945 as Lwowianka (female inhabitant of Lwów) but because the communist authorities disliked the name, the club's name has been soon changed to more politically appropriate Budowlani Opole (Builders Opole). This name was changed again in 1953 to its present form - Odra Opole. The club played in the Polish First League in periods of 1953, 1956-1958 (3 seasons), 1960-1966 (7 seasons), 1967–1970, 1971–1974 and 1976-1981. The best result was a First League 3rd place in 1963-64 season. While actually being relegated from First League (then called Second League) in the 1997-98 season, they merged with Varta Namysłów for one season and played by the name Odra/Varta Opole in the 1998-99 season of the First League.
In 2009, Odra Opole withdrew from the Polish First League after becoming insolvent. In June of the same year, a new club by the name of Oderka Opole was established. Oderka plans to apply for acceptance into the Polish Fourth League to which Odra's reserves had won promotion.[2] Oderka Opole played in Opolska (Opole) Group in Polish Fourth League and promoted to Opolsko-Slaska (Opole-Silesia) Group of Polish Third League in 2009-10 season.
