History

File:Czarni Żagań.jpg

The club was founded in 1957 by soldiers from the Żagań Garrison. It is the most successful football teams in Lubusz Voivodeship; only Czarni from this voivodeship reached the final of the Polish Cup. They lost 4–0 to Górnik Zabrze.{{cite web|title=Poland - List of Cup Finals|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesp/polcuphist.html|accessdate=19 November 2021|author=Pawel Mogielnicki|website=RSSSF|date=2 June 2010}} After the 1965 final, Czarni should have played in the 1965–66 European Cup Winners' Cup, but for political and military reasons, Czarni didn't join the competition.{{cite web|title=Czarni Żagań – historia zaskakującego finalisty Pucharu Polski|url=https://igol.pl/czarni-zagan-puchar-polski/|publisher=igol.pl|accessdate=19 November 2021|author=Claudio Mutka|date=16 June 2020}}

In the years 2019–2021, there was a senior women's team. The resulting crisis on the Polish-Belarusian border meant that at the beginning of November 2021 most players of Czarni serving in the Polish Armed Forces received official orders, which prevented them from representing Czarni in the last four games of the IV liga in 2021.{{cite web|title=Kryzys na granicy uderza również w polskie kluby.

The Lubusz Football Association didn't allow the matches of Czarni to be postponed due to the possibility of suspending the games in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic.
