KS Iskra Kielce SA, officially known for sponsorship reasons as Industria Kielce, is a professional men's handball club based in Kielce in southeastern Poland. The club plays in the Polish Superliga and is a regular competitor of the EHF Champions League. It is the most successful Polish handball club based on the number of the league titles (20).[1][2]
Since 1984, the club has been playing at the highest level league of Polish handball, winning its first title in 1993 (they finished the season with 44 points, 5 points more than one of their greatest contestants – Wisła Płock).
In 2019, it has become the most successful handball club in Poland, winning its 16th title and therefore beating the previous record holder, Śląsk Wrocław.[3]
Throughout the years of its functioning, the club has managed to reach the final four of the Champions League five times, eventually winning the most prestigious handball competition in Europe in 2016.[4]
