KS Vive Handball Kielce SA, officially known for sponsorship reasons as Łomża Vive Kielce, is a professional men's handball team based in Kielce in southeastern Poland, founded in 1965 under the name Iskra Kielce.[1] The club plays in the Superliga and is a regular competitor of the EHF Champions League. Eighteen times Polish Champion, seventeen times Polish Cup winner, and one time EHF Champions League winner.[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 became the most successful handball club in Poland, winning its 16th title and therefore beating previous record holder, Śląsk.[3]

In 2002, the club changed its name to Vive Kielce and under this name has achieved most of its successes including 13 titles in the domestic league.[4]

Throughout the years of its functioning, the club has managed to reach the final four of the Champions League four times, eventually winning the most prestigious handball competition in the whole of Europe in 2016.[5]
