Legia Warsaw (basketball)

The team won the national high school championship, and after several more promotions, it returned to the highest-level league in 1951.

Their second consecutive Polish championship in 1957 secured team's participation in the FIBA European Champions Cup the following year.

This was due to the club's severe financial problems, which prevented them from paying the players' contractual obligations.

In the following season, after many troubles, Legia finally played in the First League with a very strong squad that was expected to fight for a return to the national elite.

2021-22 season was successful both internationally and locally, reaching the FIBA Europe Cup quarterfinal and PLK final for the first time since 1969.

The European run continued when Legia participated in 2022–23 Basketball Champions League and 2023–24 FIBA Europe Cup.

At the start of the 1992-93 season Legia basketball team moved to the current Hala OSiR Bemowo facility.

The hall in which basketball players play today was converted from a former aircraft hangar to the needs of indoor sports.
