SPR Pogoń Szczecin is a women's handball club from Szczecin, Poland.
History The club was founded by Poles from Lwów (now Lviv, Ukraine), who had been transferred west after the Soviet annexation of Poland's eastern territories in 1945. The founders of Pogoń Szczecin had previously been supporters of Pogoń Lwów and the colors of their new club reflect their old club. Polonia Bytom and Odra Opole were likewise founded or revived by the former inhabitants of Lwów.
The most popular sports organization in Szczecin was founded on 21 April 1948 as Klub Sportowy Sztorm. Its first departments were football and boxing, and the football team began playing in the local C-Klasa. In March 1949, several sports clubs in Szczecin (KS Sztorm, KS Cukrownik, KS Drukarz, Pocztowy KS) were merged into a large organization called Klub Sportowy Zwiazkowiec.
After the 2018–19 season, it was decided to liquidate the club. The continuation of Pogoń Szczecin was undertaken by MKS Kusy Szczecin, which in the following season started playing in the 2nd league. In 2021, the team won promotion to the I liga, and the name SPR Pogoń Szczecin was restored.
