Wisła is the Polish word for the river Vistula which flows through the city of Kraków. The history of Wisła started during the fall of 1906, when (probably in October) Dr. Tadeusz Konczyński organised the Krakow Błonia, the first football tournament in the city. He also founded four teams (among them one came from the Second Real School) and football uniforms which came to him from England. The school's team (also called Szkolnikowski's team) was given light blue shirts with a black bowl on their chests, which was divided by a blue belt. This is why they were called "The Blues". Their first captain, and also the person to coin the name "Wisła" was Józef Szkolnikowski - goalkeeper. Prof. Tadeusz Łopuszański was the club's first chairman.

In September 1907 "The Reds" (Jenkner's team) merged with Wisła, and soon after "The Pinks" did the same. That is when Towarzystwo Sportowe Wisła officially began. The Blue shirts were changed to red, but the black trousers remained. When the first uniforms arrived from Berlin, two light blue stars were present on the shirts. It was decided that only one would remain, though its colour would be changed to white. This is how "The White Star" became the recognized symbol of the club.

From that time on the club had its ups and downs, winning national championships and gaining European qualification. The club was also relegated on three occasions to the second division.

The name of “The White Star” was changed several times. First, in 1949 when Wisła became a militia team and named ZS Gwardia-Wisła. From 1955 to 1990 the club was playing as GTS Wisła Kraków. In 1990 Wisła came back to the historical name – TS Wisła Kraków.

On the international stage Wisła competed in all three of the European competitions. The biggest success came in the 1978/79 season, reaching the quarter-finals of the European Cup eventually to be knocked out by Malmö FF, 3:5.

Wisla won the first ever Chicago Trophy held in Chicago, Illinois in July of 2007. Wisla beat 2007 UEFA Cup Champions FC Sevilla 1-0 in the second game of the tournament to clinch the crown. Wisla is expected to compete again next year to defend the title. It is important to note that Chicago boasts the largest Polish population in the world outside of Warsaw, Poland and according to the Chicago Trophy contract, the tournament needs have one Polish soccer club to represent the Polish community of Chicago.

The club's emblem features all of these - a red and blue shield in front of a football, with a white star at the shield's center. The blue is a vertical stripe across the red, symbolic of the Vistula river. Atop the emblem is a crown, symbolic of Kraków's status as the capital of Poland from the 11th to 16th century and home of the Polish kings.The club's foundation and the official business name - Wisła Kraków Sportowa SA, something like Wisła Kraków Sports Inc.

The stadium is in the process of being expanded and will reach a capacity of 34,500 when completed.
