During the Second Republic of Poland the club was one of four teams from Lwów that played in the Polish Football First league[2] (season 1931 – 12th). The club became two times champion of Lviv District League (liga okręgowa) where it spent 17 seasons. After invasion of Poland by the Soviet forces in 1939 the club was reorganized as FC Lokomotiv Lviv.
