History

LKS Igloopol was formed by the Agro-Industrial Works "Igloopol" in 1978 in Dębica. The club rose through the league pyramid very quickly as the amount of investment in the club increased. The club had its greatest successes in the early 1990s when it played for two seasons (1990–91 and 1991–92) in the top division of Polish football.

Apart from in Dębica itself, Igloopol have fans in Pustynia, Kozłów, Kędzierz, Żyraków, Wola Żyrakowska and even in Chicago.[2]

The fans have friendly contacts with fans of Ruch Chorzów, mainly because their local arch-rivals Wisłoka have friendly relations with Górnik Zabrze.[3] Wisłoka Dębica are the club's fiercest rival, and the Dębica derby is one of the most hotly contested derbies in the country. Apart from Wisłoka and Górnik Zabrze, Siarka Tarnobrzeg (who also have good relations with Wisłoka) and Resovia Rzeszów are also considered rivals.[4]
