History
editArmada Szczecin was formed in January 2019, via the merge of teams Husaria Szczecin and Cougars Szczecin. It was based in the city of Szczecin, Poland. The team participated in the 2019 season of the 2nd division American Football League of Poland. The club manager was Tomasz Leszczyński.[1]
It was planned for the team to debut in the 1st division American Football League in the 2020 season, which however was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As such, the team participated in the nine-man football division of the Polish Football League, in which, it won the champion title. The team also participated in the 2021 season of the nine-man football conference, where it lost the finals to the Bielawa Owls.[2]
Due to the bad financial situation, the team was disbanded in November 2021, after the end of the season.[3]
