history

On October 19, 1901, the Czech Football Association was founded in the U zlaté váhy restaurant in Prague (Czech: Český svaz footballový, ČSF ). The following football clubs were founding members: SK Slavia , AC Sparta , SK Meteor Praha VIII , SK Union, SK Olympia Praha VII, FK Horymír, FK Malá Strana, Hradčanský SK, SK Vyšehrad, LK Česká vlajka, SK Olympia Košíře, ČAKFC Královské Vinohrady , AF Karlín, SK Plzeň, FK Union Plzeň and AC Roudnice. The first chairman was the Slavia captain Karel Freja .

In 1906 the ČSF was provisionally accepted into FIFA and played in Budapest for its first international match. In 1907 FIFA membership was confirmed, only one year later the association was expelled from FIFA under pressure from Austria-Hungary , which saw its state integrity at risk. On January 20, 1912, a Moravian-Silesian sub-association was founded. In 1916 the association was forced to dissolve, but was re-established in 1917 under the same name.

After the establishment of Czechoslovakia , the association was renamed Československý svaz footballový, ČSSF on April 10, 1921 . On March 26, 1923, the Czechoslovak Football Association (Czech: Československá associace footballová, ČSAF ) was founded, which functioned as the umbrella organization of the national minority associations in Czechoslovakia. In addition to the Czechoslovak Football Association, it also included the German Football Association for Bohemia (DFVfB), German Football Association for Moravia and Silesia (DFVfMuSch), the Hungarian Football Association (MLSz), the Jewish Football Association (KMKRJ) and the Polish Football Association (PZPN) on. The DFVfB organized its own competitions.

After the occupation of the so-called remaining Czech Republic by the Wehrmacht in 1939, the ČSF was again responsible for Czech football. After the end of the Second World War in 1945, the ČSAF was re-established. When the Communist Party came to power in 1948, football in Czechoslovakia was completely reorganized. Until 1952, the associations and members of OKČOS were under the Sokol Association (ČOS). Between 1953 and 1957 there was a football section in the State Committee on Physical Education and Sport. The then football association became a member of UEFA on June 5, 1954 .

From 1957 to 1968 the sport of football was then subordinate to the Czechoslovak Sports Federation (Czech: Československý svaz tělesné výchovy, ČSTV ). In 1968 a Czechoslovak Football Association (Czech: Československý fotbalový svaz, ČSFS ) was founded, which was divided into a Czech (ČFS) and a Slovak Football Association (SFZ) as a result of the transformation of Czechoslovakia into a federal state .

Until the end of the communist regime in 1990, the sport of football was subordinate to the Committee of the Football Association in the Central Committee of the Czechoslovak Sports Association ČSTV.

In 1990 he came to found a Czechoslovakian football association under the name Československá fotbalová asociace, ČSFA , which was divided into a Czech and a Slovak association.

With the division of Czechoslovakia into two independent states Czech Republic and Slovakia in 1993, the football association Českomoravský fotbalový svaz (ČMFS) was founded, which was renamed Fotbalová asociace České republiky (FAČR) in June 2011 .

International competitions

The Bohemian national football team first competed in a country comparison on April 1, 1906. The opponent in this friendly game was Hungary , the match ended 1: 1.

By the time they were excluded from FIFA in 1908, Bohemia had played six official internationals, five of which were against Hungary, the last game against England .

At the Olympic Games in 1920 , the Czechoslovak national football team made it to the final against Belgium , but left the field in the 38th minute when the score was 2-0 for the Belgians in protest against the referee 's performance and was then disqualified .

Czechoslovakia finished second at world championships in 1934 and 1962 . The biggest international triumph of Czechoslovak football probably is winning the European Championship in 1976 represents. 1980 Czechoslovakia was third. The Czech team was runner-up in England in 1996 and third in Portugal in 2004 .

The U-23 (1976), the U-21 (2002), the U-18 (1968) and the U-16 selection (1990) also became European champions.
