The Akademia Lechia Gdańsk is Lechia Gdańsk's academy section of the football club. Lechia Gdańsk II also serve as the team's official 2nd team. The Lechia Gdańsk II team is also sometimes referred to as Lechia II Gdańsk and as LG2.

The Academy

Since the early years of the clubs formation they have often had an academy to some degree with the focus of developing youth players for the first team.

In 2010 Lechia Gdańsk and Grupa Lotos set up the Akademia Piłkarska Lechia Gdańsk (APLG) (English: Football Academy Lechia Gdańsk) meaning that development of youth players could be done away from the club itself, a decision which meant the club could focus more on the first team and because it was expected that it would be easier for the academy to get addition funds if it was not totally connected to the club.[2] After five years of close cooperation there were disagreements with Lechia and APLG about the training of players, eventually leading to Lechia to reintroduce the academy into the club that year.[3]

In 2015 it was announced that all of the youth teams would once again be returning to Lechia, with Lechia taking control of coaching and player development.[4] It was announced that there would be 11 age groups which would make up the Academy starting from the Under-7's to the Under-23's. After 3 years, the Lechia Academy had 12 teams under their control, with other 200 staff seeing over the development.[5] From the summer of 2019 the academy will be home to multiple levels of girls football teams with the formal incorporation of the Lechia Gdańsk Ladies into the Lechia Gdańsk structure.[6]

Lechia II

The Lechia Under-23's are also known as Lechia II, due to the team playing in the Polish leagues. As of the 2019–20 season, Lechia II are playing in the "IV liga Pomerania" league, the fifth tier of Polish football. Due to the rules of 2nd teams, only 3 players in the match day squad can be over the age of 23.

The Lechia II team was first introduced for the 1953–54 Polish Cup, with the second team's first official game being on 15 November 1953 against ŁKS Łódź. The team took part in three further Cup competitions after 1953 until the 2005–06 season when the second team became a permanent squad within the club. In 2016 it was announced that Lechia would be discontinuing the second team.[15] Lechia reversed this decision two seasons later and introduced the reserve team again for the start of the 2018–19 season.[16]
