On March 23, 2023, in the Sports and Entertainment Hall in Chęciny, a sponsorship agreement was signed between Świętokrzyskie Industrial Group INDUSTRIA and the wrestling club “LKS Znicz Chęciny”. From April 1st this year, the club will take the name “INDUSTRIA LKS Znicz Chęciny”, and ŚGP INDUSTRIA will become its title sponsor for a year. Robert Jaworski – Mayor of the Commune and City of Chęciny said:
I am very glad that the state-owned company INDUSTRIA has financially supported the leading club in the city and commune of Chęciny, which is LKS Znicz. The club has a great tradition and achievements, but it also has expenses, and local governments have problems with 100% financing of the club. Certainly, such financial support will relieve the budget of the Commune and the City of Chęciny, and the club will be able to develop and implement its plans, which is very important to us.
The beginnings of the “Znicz” Club dates back to 1976. Many medalists of the World, European and Polish Championships come from Znicz. Last year, the youngest generation won 6 medals of the Polish Championships. In total, in the years 1976-2020, the players of “Znicz” gained about 250 medals in the championships in our country.
