Fablok Chrzanów
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fablok Chrzanów is a Polish sports club, founded in 1926 in Chrzanów. Its name reflects the name of club’s sponsor - Fablok is an abbreviation of Fabryka Lokomotyw (Rail Engine Factory), the biggest and most important company of the town.
Fablok’s most famous soccer player is Paweł Cyganek, who played one game for the Polish National Team (August 27, 1939, Poland - Hungary 4-2). The club, however, also had other sections - ice-hockey, chess, volleyball, basketball, tennis, and handball (which became the strongest one, reaching Nationwide Polish Handball League). A few years ago, handball section split with Fablok and now exists under the name of MTS Chrzanów.
Presently, after financial problems, Fablok supports only one section - soccer. The team plays in the regional league of the Kraków district.
