ACTIVITY OF THE DĄBROWA BASIN DISTRICT FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION IN THE YEARS 1946–1962

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the study is to present the activities of the Dąbrowa Basin District Football Associa-tion (DBDFA) in the years 1946-1962. The decision to establish it was taken by the general meetingof delegates to the Polish Football Association (PFA) who met on 16-17 February 1946. However,the beginnings of the DBDFA – taking into account the period after 1945 – are connected with theDąbrowa Basin Football Subdistrict (DBFS), which was subordinate to the Silesian District FootballAssociation. In turn, on July 28, 1945, the autonomous DBFS was established subordinate directlyto the PFA. Subsequent organizational changes took place in 1951. At that time, PFA was dissolved,and the Football Section (FS) was established in its place at the Central Committee of PhysicalCulture (CCPC). Thus, District Football Associations (DFA) were replaced with FS at the ProvincialCommittees of Physical Culture. The process of change began again in the autumn of 1956, and ittook place, among other things, in sport. Owing to to these changes, DBDFA was reactivated on13 January 1957 (and existed until 1962). Considering the period discussed, the best years forDąbrowa Basin football were 1946-1950. In turn, the period in which FS CCPC existed (1951-1956)was unfavourable. Therefore, after the reactivation of DBDFA, activists set out to work to rebuildDąbrowa Basin football despite organizational difficulties continuing unabated.
