Bruk-Bet Termalica Nieciecza Klub Sportowy Spółka Akcyjna, commonly referred to as Bruk-Bet Termalica Nieciecza (Polish pronunciation: [ˈbruɡbɛt tɛrmaˈlika ɲɛˈt͡ɕɛt͡ʂa]), is a Polish professional football club based in Nieciecza. The team competes in the I liga, the second tier of the Polish football league system, following their 2025–26 Ekstraklasa relegation.[2]

History

The team was established in 1922. The club was founded after World War II and took over the previously existing team. The team's official colours are orange and blue. In May 2015, after securing the second place in the I liga, the club reached the Ekstraklasa for the first time in its history.[3]

With Nieciecza's population at 750, it holds the record for the smallest town or village in the history of Polish football that has had its representative in the highest division of Polish football.[4][5]

In 2021, they had finished as the I liga runners-up and won the promotion to the Ekstraklasa, for the second time in their history.[6]
