Czarni Lwów was the first Polish professional sports club. The club was started in the late 19th century in Lwów as a school football section Sława Lwów. In 1903 the name was changed and the club became professional.

Although the main interest of the fans lay in football, soon other sections were opened (hockey, boxing, skiing, tennis, athletics). In 1935 the club won the Polish league cup (Mistrzostwa Polski). In the same year the club won also the Polish ice hockey title. In 1936 the name was changed back to "Military and Civil Sports Club Sława Lwów". It was disbanded in 1939 by the NKVD who arrested most of its members.
