For the second edition the Polish Football Association did not promote the competition, meaning it had to be held independently, and that all the teams in the top division didn't have to take part. In the second edition 5 of the 16 I liga teams refused to take part, leading to the invitation of 4 Hungarian teams and Górnik Zabrze in the II liga. 1977 Final Odra Opole won the 1977 League Cup. 1978 Final Górnik Zabrze won the 1978 League Cup. Polish League Cup The Polish League Cup was created due to Zbigniew Boniek and Richard Raczkowski pushing the idea to the Polish Football Association. To try and make the tournament more successful than the previous edition large financial bonuses were used for reaching each round of the competition, with the winners receiving 1.3million PLN in total. The format of the first competition was a knockout tournament with each tie being over two legs, until the final which was a one-off for the cup win. The second edition included teams playing in the II liga, and kept its two-legged knockout rounds, including a two-legged final, this was also the same format used in the third edition. After the third edition the Polish Football Association announced that it would not be organising the tournament for the following season and the competition never returned to the footballing calendar. 2000 Final Polonia Warsaw won the 1999–2000 Polish League Cup. 2001 Final First-leg Second-leg Wisła Kraków won the 2000–2001 Polish League Cup winning 4–2 on aggregate. 2002 Final First-leg Second-leg Legia Warsaw won the 2001–2002 Polish League Cup winning 4–2 on aggregate. Ekstraklasa Cup The Ekstraklasa Cup, organised by Ekstraklasa SA and not the Polish Football association was introduced in 2006. The format was similar to that of the Champions League, with four groups of four and the top two in the groups progressing to a knockout phase. The competition was cancelled in 2009 due to lack of sponsorship and no channel wanting to buy the television rights to games. It was later announced that the teams in the Ekstraklasa voted for the cup competition not to return making it impossible for the Ekstraklasa Cup in its format to return in the future. 2007 Final Dyskobolia Grodzisk Wielkopolski won the 2006–2007 Ekstraklasa Cup. 2008 Final Dyskobolia Grodzisk Wielkopolski won the 2007–2008 Ekstraklasa Cup. 2009 Final Śląsk Wrocław won the 2008–2009 Ekstraklasa Cup.
