Notable players

Łukasz Piszczek

The club has gained attention for being the childhood club of the long-term Poland international player Łukasz Piszczek.[7] In April 2021, he agreed to join the club for the 2021–22 season following his departure from Borussia Dortmund, when he retired from professional football.[8] His father is vice-president of LKS Goczałkowice-Zdrój.[9] In May 2021, Piszczek coached the club for one III liga match against Pniówek Pawłowice, although it ended in a 2–1 defeat.[10]

Since 2019, Piszczek has been working to establish the Łukasz Piszczek BVB Academy in Goczałkowice-Zdrój, in partnership with Borussia Dortmund.[9][11]

Reserve team

The club also operates a reserve team, KS Goczałkowice-Zdrój II.

In the 2024–25 season, the reserves won the Silesian Regional Polish Cup, defeating GKS Katowice's B team 3–0 in the final.[12] This victory qualified them for the central stage of the Polish Cup.[13] In the 2025–26 first round, played on 23 September 2025, the reserves upset II liga side Stal Stalowa Wola 3–1 after extra time at the Panattoni Arena to advance to the round of 32. The reserve side was reinforced by several first-team players, including Łukasz Piszczek and Michał Fidziukiewicz.[14]

In the Round of 32, they were eliminated after a heavy 0–7 defeat at home against Polonia Bytom.[15]
