Zagłębie Lubin, pron. IPA: [zagˈwɛmbʲɛ ˈlubin], is a Polish professional football club based in Lubin, Poland. It was founded on September 10, 1945 as OMTUR Lubin. In 2006/2007, after a very successful campaign, Zagłębie Lubin became league champions for a second time (its first title was in 1990/1991).
The club immediately began preparations for the following season with Czesław Michniewicz confirming that the club would purchase four international players to help them advance into the UEFA Champions League group stage. The club owner, KGHM Polska Miedź, a copper and silver producer, is one of the biggest companies in Poland. For the 2007/2008 season the company has announced a 10 million euro budget in order to achieve Champions League qualification. The team also has close ties with SL Benfica.
KGHM has also allocated 25 million euros for the construction of a new 20,000 seat stadium (Zagłębie Arena). Because the current stadium does not meet UEFA standards, Champions League matches will be played in Poznań in the Stadion Miejski. Zagłębie Lubin has also signed a contract with Nike as the new official shirt manufacturer.
