Czarni Radom

What Czarni Radom does

WKS Czarni Radom S.A. is a professional men's volleyball club based in Radom, Poland, operating as a joint-stock company under Polish law with a small administrative headcount of around six employees. The club fields a senior team that currently competes in PLS 1. Liga (Poland's second-tier professional volleyball league) after relegation from PlusLiga following the 2023/2024 season, and as of late January 2026 the team sat 10th in a 16-team standings with 38 points. Its historical roots include a 1999 Polish Cup victory, while the modern sporting structure (RCS - Radomskie Centrum Siatkarskie) was established around 2012 to build a youth-to-professional pipeline, achieving promotion to PlusLiga in 2013.

The club's core product is the men's professional volleyball team, supported by a vertically integrated youth academy (RCS) that runs cadets, juniors, and youth age-group teams and participates in the national School Volleyball Centers (SOS) program at V LO Radom since 2012. Ancillary products include CzarniTV (an official YouTube channel), a fan merchandise e-commerce store (sklep.wksczarni.pl), and the Siatkarska Szkoła Kibica fan-school program. The club also operates a separate supporter association (Stowarzyszenie Czarni Radom) and runs community outreach through school visits and regional youth tournaments across the Mazovia region.

The business model is sponsorship-driven and event-driven: revenue (not publicly disclosed) is anchored by title-naming sponsors over time (Cerrad, Enea, PIERROT, and currently ICT PIERROT for the 2026/2027 season), supplemented by approximately 20 secondary match and facility sponsors, direct ticket sales via goingapp.pl and on-venue at Radomskie Centrum Sportu (RCS), and modest merchandise and content-monetization channels. Distribution reach combines direct sales (website, venue, fan shop) with national visibility via Polsat Sport television broadcasts and CzarniTV on YouTube. The club is governed by Prezes Zarządu Sylwia Sułkowska, with new head coach Michał Masný appointed for the 2026/2027 season alongside assistant Krzysztof Michalski.
