In 2016, the original Piast Cieszyn was disestablished and split into three different entities: TS Piast Cieszyn, TS 1909 Piast Cieszyn and CKS Piast Cieszyn,[5] the latter led by Jeleń.[6]

TS Piast Cieszyn was dissolved in 2018,[7] followed by TS 1909 Piast two years later.[8] CKS Piast, as of the 2024–25 season, competes in the Skoczów-Żywiec regional league.[9]
