The FC Baník Ostrava is one of the most popular football clubs in the Czech Republic . The club from Ostrava, founded in 1922, was Czechoslovak football champions three times between 1976 and 1981 and Czech football champions for the first time in 2004. A total of five times, most recently in 2005, Ostrau won the Czechoslovak and Czech football cups. The greatest international success was reaching the semi-finals of the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1979 , while in 2004 the qualifying round failed to make it into the UEFA Champions League for the first time .

After Slovan Liberec (2002), Baník Ostrau became the second non-Prague team to become champions of the Czech football league, which was founded in 1993. Together with the subsequent cup success in 2005, Ostrau was able to build on the successful times of the 1970s for the first time in almost 25 years.

The local venue from 1959 to 2015 was the Bazaly Stadium, which could hold around 10,000 spectators . As it was being demolished, Banik moved to the Městský stadion - Vítkovice Aréna with around 13,000 seats.

history

Beginnings

Baník Ostrava was founded on September 8, 1922 in the U Dubu restaurant as SK Slezská Ostrava . Slezská Ostrava was the largest mining town in Czechoslovakia at that time . The association had 20 founding members, most of whom were poorly financed, the first chairman was Karel Aniol. Initially, the team played in red and white striped shirts and black shorts, but after a short time switched to white shirts and blue shorts, today's club colors.

The new club's first game was played on March 4, 1923. Fifteen minutes before the end, the team led 2-1 against the reserve team of Slovan Ostrava when the game was abandoned because of dark.

Way to the state league

Until 1925, SK Slezská Ostrava did not have its own space, which it finally found in the locality Na Kamenici on the Ostravice river, not far from today's stadium. Strictly speaking, the soccer field was irregular, and there was no fence. Already in its first season, the team managed to rise from the III. třída in the II. třída and in 1924 immediately further in the I. třída in which one played with varying success, but in 1930 had to relegate. The promotion succeeded in 1932, in 1934 Slezská Ostrava celebrated promotion to the Divize , the second highest division at the time. This also made it necessary to build a new square, which was called Stará střelnice . The first game took place there on August 12, 1934, the SK Slezská Ostrava separated in a friendly game from DSV Troppau 2-2 in a draw. Six days later the official inauguration took place with a game against DSK Unie Ostrava .

The Divize brought more professional structures with it. The club signed two players from Austria , Fischer and Jokutti , and the 1935/36 derby against Ostravská Slavia saw 5,400 spectators. After two runner-up championships, the team won the Divize and also took first place in the relegation to the State League.

The SK Slezská Ostrava celebrated its premiere in the top Czechoslovak league on August 22, 1937, the 1st ČsŠK Bratislava was defeated 4-1. The team finished the season of the twelve league in tenth place, in the following season it was seventh. A year later, due to the last place in the table, the relegation followed, the immediate resurgence failed in the 1940/41 season overpowering SK Olomouc ASO . In the coming season, the team secured the championship, but failed in the relegation. In 1943 it worked, the relegation no longer applies, with the return to the 1st division of the Reich Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, which existed from 1939 to 1945 . The game against Slavia Prague in the 1943/44 season saw 33,000 spectators and set a new record. The last season before the war-related interruption ended the team from Ostrava in seventh place.

The 1950s and 1960s

After the February Revolution of 1948, when the Communist Party took power, the association was renamed Sokol Trojice Ostrava and later Trojice OKD Ostrava . The Ostravsko-karvinské doly , OKD for short , acted as the sponsoring company . In this turmoil, the team rose from the 1st division in 1949, but managed to rise again in 1951. With the introduction of uniform club names in 1953, the club name changed to Baník Ostrava .

In the 1954 season Baník was runner-up, Miroslav Wiecek , the league's top scorer in 1952, 1956, 1957 and 1958 scored seven goals that year. Looking for international exchange, the team traveled to England in 1957 after having been to France and Algeria a decade earlier . There were defeats against Everton FC , Leeds United and Brighton & Hove Albion , only Millwall FC were defeated 5-3.

In the so-called Rappan Cup 1961/62 , Baník Ostrava prevailed in the group against SC Motor Jena , VfL Osnabrück and the Grazer AK . After the Swedish representative Örgryte IS was eliminated in the quarter-finals , the last four against Feyenoord Rotterdam was the end of the line.

In the mid-1960s, there was a change in the team, which ultimately led to the last relegation in the club's history. Baník immediately rose again and has never been down since.

National and international success

The team won their first title in 1972/73 by securing the primacy in the Czechoslovak cup competition. The team from Ostrava lost the final first leg against the Slovakian cup winners VSS Košice with 1: 2, a 3: 1 in the second leg meant participation in the European Cup Winners' Cup 1973/74. In the first round two wins against Cork Hibernians , in the second round a 2-0 home win against 1. FC Magdeburg . In Magdeburg's Ernst-Grube-Stadion , the home side won 3-0 and ended the Czechs' cup season. Nevertheless, the team around the new coach Tomáš Pospíchal had demonstrated their potential. In the 1974/75 UEFA Cup, Baník was only eliminated in the quarter-finals against eventual winners Borussia Mönchengladbach .

After an excellent second half of the 1975/76 season, Baník Ostrava won the Czechoslovak Championship, coached by Jiří Rubáš since the winter break . In the second round of the European Champions Cup, FC Bayern Munich proved to be too strong an opponent. Rubáš handed over the team management after two years to Evžen Hadamczik , under whom the club had the most successful time. In the season 1978/79 Baník was runner-up, won the Czech Cup, and reached the semi-finals in the European Cup Winners' Cup , where Fortuna Düsseldorf was the final destination (1: 3 and 2: 1). In 1980 and 1981 Baník won the championship, in 1982 the runner-up. By 1983, the team remained unbeaten in 65 home games.

In the mid-1980s, the really big days were over, and there was a generation change. Under coach Milan Máčala it was enough to qualify for the UEFA Cup in 1989 and 1990 . In the 1990/91 season Baník won the Czechoslovak Cup. Baník Ostrava was eliminated in the second round of the 1991/92 European Cup Winners' Cup against Galatasaray Istanbul .

Change of ownership

After the end of the communist regime, the association found sponsors in the privatized OKD, the Radegast brewery , and the chemical company Moravské chemické závody, MCHZ for short.

At the turn of the millennium, the club got new owners with Alois Hadamczik and Petr Lamich, who in turn sold their shares in the joint stock company FC Baník Ostrava as in January 2003 to the former tennis player Daniel Vacek . Vacek sold his 75 percent stake in 2009 to businessman Tomas Petera. The association holds the remaining 25%.

Championship and cup win

In the 2003/04 season, Baník Ostrava surprisingly won the Czech championship under coach František Komňacký. In qualifying for the UEFA Champions League , the team was eliminated by Bayer 04 Leverkusen . Important players in the championship team were Jan Laštůvka , Pavel Besta , René Bolf , Zdeněk Pospěch , Martin Čížek , Radek Slončík , Radoslav Látal , Miroslav Matušovič , Mario Lička and Marek Heinz .

The team won the Czech Cup the following season, and in the 2005/06 UEFA Cup they finished in the first round after a 2-0 and 0-5 win against Dutch representatives SC Heerenveen .

Stadion

From 1925 to 1934 SK Slezská Ostrava played on the Na Kamenici square on the Ostravice River near the Bazaly Stadium . After that, the Stará střelnice stadium (German: At the old shooting range ) served as the home ground until 1959. That year the Na Bazalech stadium was completed. The old grandstand of the Stará střelnice moved into the new stadium. It was demolished in 1967 and replaced by a steel grandstand.

Since the 2009/10 season, all Czech top division stadiums must be equipped with underfloor heating . Due to the underground structure of the Bazaly, the installation does not make sense, which is why the association had planned to move to the Národně sportovní centrum Morava , NSCM for short , completed in 2010 . This stadium was built in place of the municipal stadium in the Vítkovice district . Baník Ostrava could stay in his stadium. For the 2013/14 season, the capacity of the stadium was limited to 10,039 seats after rioting at home games of Baník Ostrava.

After the 2014/15 season, the end came for the Bazaly . On May 30, 2015, the last official game took place in the stadium against FK Dukla Prague (1-1). After 56 years and 819 games, Banik moves to the Městský stadion - Vítkovice Aréna with 13,375 seats.
