Lech Poznań II (Polish pronunciation: [lɛx ˈpɔznaj̃]) is the reserve team and the senior academy team of Lech Poznań, a Polish professional football club based in Poznań. The team and its facilities are based in Wronki.

They currently play in group II of the fourth tier of the league pyramid.

Overview

The team is intended to be the final step between Lech's academy and the first team, and usually consists promising youngsters between the age of 15 and 22, with a few veteran players drafted in to provide experience.

Occasionally, first team players are included in line-ups, to give them an opportunity to regain match fitness.

History

They are known for the remarkable feat of winning all 36 games in the 1994–95 IV liga season; it was the last season where 2 points were awarded for a win (instead of 3 points), which meant they finished on 72 points (would have been 108 in a three-point system).

They gained promotion in the 2003–04 season to the third tier after winning the league and beating Jarota Jarocin 2–0 twice, 4–0 on aggregate.[1] In that same season, they reached the 1st round of the Polish Cup, but were knocked out by Górnik Konin following a 3–1 loss.[2] After the 2006–07 season,[3] the reserve teams were scrapped in favour of a central youth league, meaning that between 2007 and 2013 the team ceased to exist. They were reinstated to their previous league position for the 2013–14 season.[4]

They won promotion to II liga at the end of the 2018–19 season, making them the highest placed reserves team in Poland at the time.[5] They remained at the third tier for five years, before being relegated from the 2023–24 II liga after finishing 16th.[6]
