Its team was nine times champion of Poznan's A-Class Regional League (see: Lower Level Football Leagues in Interwar Poland) - in 1927, 1929, 1930, 1931, 1932, 1933, 1934, 1934–1935, 1937–1938 and in 1938–1939.

After the war, the new Soviet-installed communist government of Poland did not favor prewar teams, and Legia, as well as Warta, were sidelined, and replaced as the city's dominant team with Lech Poznań Kolejowy Klub Sportowy Lech Poznań S.A., commonly referred to as KKS Lech Poznań or simpl ...
