During the German occupation (World War II), it was forbidden to organize football matches under the threat of severe repression.

[1] Due to these restrictions on the meadows of Rakowice, then a village on the borders of Kraków, numerous football competitions were held secretly.

Eventually, the local community, on the initiative of Edward Ignaszewski, decided to establish a sports club in such difficult times, thus forming Wieczysta Kraków in 1942.

For the coming twelve seasons, Wieczysta Kraków played in the Liga okręgowa, that was the fifth and after another reorganization in 2008 the sixth tier of the Polish football league.

The key moment turned out to be a series of five out of six matches without a win, which contributed to the loss of the chance for promotion after the penultimate round, when promotion to the II liga was secured by Stal Stalowa Wola, and Wieczysta was further surpassed by Avia Świdnik, falling to third place in the table before the last round of the III liga.

[16] Wieczysta strengthened their roster for the 2023–24 campaign with arrivals of former Poland internationals Michał Pazdan, Rafał Pietrzak and Jacek Góralski, as well as veteran players Saša Živec and Christoph Knasmüllner.

On 18 August, despite being only one point behind group IV leaders Siarka Tarnobrzeg, Maciej Musiał was sacked and replaced with former Wieczysta player Sławomir Peszko.

[17] On 18 May 2024, following a 1–0 win over Świdniczanka Świdnik, and second-placed Siarka Tarnobrzeg losing their game hours later, Wieczysta secured their promotion to II liga three rounds before the end of the season.
