Zawisza Bydgoszcz SAwas a short-lived club that was created whenKujawiak Włocławekwere moved toBydgoszczand renamed by Hydrobudowa, their owners, fromKujawiak/Hydrobudowa Włocławek.
The originalZawisza Bydgoszczcontinued playing in the fourth division.[1]however the new club had a very similar logo and an identical name. As a result, Kujawiak, Zawisza and supporters all over the country boycotted the relocated team.[2]The reserve team continued to play under the name Kujawiak Włocławek in thefourth division.
The club was unofficially called a variety of names to disambiguate:Zawisza Bydgoszcz (2),Kujawiak-Zawisza,Hydrobudowa,Hydrobudowa Zawisza,Zawisza 2,Kujawiak Bydgoszcz.
The club lasted two seasons in theSecond Division,[3]before it folded in 2007[4]as a result of serious corruption allegations[5]and widespread condemnation.[6]
The fans overwhelmingly boycotted support for the club, as did other fans in solidarity. They had already previously opposed a controversial merger withChemik Bydgoszczin 2001, choosing to boycott thenew merged club(which turned out to be hugely unsuccessful) and support the reserve team which still played under the Zawisza name.[7]Therefore, in 2006, the fans opposed the new relocated Zawisza again opting to continue to support the original team made up of the reserve squad, just like five years earlier. When the "new Zawisza" failed to win any trophies and was embroiled in a match-fixing scandal, subsequently folding, the fans triumphantly announced victory against the media and politicians who supported it.[6]
