Notable players

Łukasz Piszczek

The club has gained attention for being the childhood club of the long-term Poland international player Łukasz Piszczek.^[5] In April 2021, he agreed to join the club for the 2021–22 season following his departure from Borussia Dortmund, when he retired from professional football.^[6] His father is vice-president of LKS Goczałkowice-Zdrój.^[7] In May 2021, Piszczek coached the club for one III liga match against Pniówek Pawłowice, although it ended in a 2–1 defeat.^[8]

Since 2019, Piszczek has been working to establish the Łukasz Piszczek BVB Academy in Goczałkowice-Zdrój, in partnership with Borussia Dortmund.^[7][9]
