The club, founded in 1913, became Czechoslovak champions in 1978 and reached the final of the Czech Football Cup in 1993 , which was lost to Sparta Prague . The club played in the first Czech football league until the end of the 2010/11 season , to which it has belonged without interruption since it was founded in 1993. At the end of this season, the relegation from the top division was certain. Since the 2012/13 season, the club played again in the first division, but rose again in the 2017/18 season.

Club history
founding
Members of the disintegrated Studentský team Židenice and the junior team of SK Achilles founded on 14 January 1913 in the inn U Machů in the former Brno suburb Židenice a new club called SK Židenice . The initiator was the young miller's son Cyril Lacina, who was able to convince his father of the same name to become a functionary and patron of the new club.
The Studentský team Židenice was a team of pupils and students who had played together for a few years before they were formally founded in 1908, but which broke up in 1912. SK Achilles Brno , playing in blue and white, was a somewhat larger sports club, founded in 1905, which in 1907 was forced to vacate its previous location and found a new one near the Židenice train station . Not far from the new venue was a hospital and the municipal swimming pool. In the SK Achilles not only football was played, but also athletics, the club was also one of the first Moravian ice hockey pioneers . The SK Židenice took over the place of the SK Achilles in 1913 .
Beginnings
The club in Kroměříž , who initially played in red and white striped shirts, played their first game , and soon afterwards they met SK Moravská Slavia Brno , which was founded in 1906 , from which the Brno Derby developed. During the First World War , SK Židenice, now playing in dark red suits, suffered less than many other clubs for two reasons. Firstly, Cyril Lacina was able to win players for the SK with his mill and flour, and secondly, the nearby hospital also offered an opportunity to recruit players. During this time greats like Rudolf Sloup and Otto Mazal played in Židenice . In 1919 the association moved to a new location in the neighboring Zábrdovice district of Brno , and Židenice was also incorporated into the newly created Greater Brno that year . When Cyril Lacina died in September 1920, it was feared that the club would end, but the manufacturer Rudolf Foller took on his role. A little later, the state arms factory Československá zbrojovka in the person of its director Stanislav Míhal became the new patron of the association.
In 1922, SK Židenice took part in the Czechoslovak Football Championship as champions of West Moravia , but was eliminated in the first round with 1: 6 against SK Hradec Králové . When professionalism was introduced in 1925, SK Židenice remained in the amateur camp. In the first championship final, the Brno did not take part, as they were defeated in the Moravian final to SK Prostějov with 0: 1. Just a year later, the team became Czechoslovak amateur champions. The Moravian championship won the team in games against SK Prostějov (4: 3) and Moravská Ostrava (5: 1). In the final round the DSV Witkowitz (4: 3) waited , in the semifinals the SK Židenice faced another German opponent. The Sportbrüder Schreckenstein were defeated 2-0 on their own pitch. The final took place on November 14, 1926 in Prague on Viktoria Žižkov's square . In a dramatic game, the Brno won against Sparta Košíře 6-5. The team could not repeat this success, in 1931 they reached the semi-finals, but were eliminated there against DFC Prague .
In the professional camp
At the end of the year, the club decided to switch to the professional camp, in the 1931/32 season he was divided into the second division, which he won superiorly. During this time, the SK Židenice no longer played on his place in Zábrdovice . The city decided to build a spa there and gave notice to the club in 1929, which initially played for a few months on the Makkabi Brno square and then built a new square in the north of the old town on Na rybníčku , also known as Na Horymíru .
The premiere in the top Czechoslovak league lost the SK Židenice with 2: 3 at Sparta Prague . The first season ended the team in the ten league in eighth place. Already in the next season 1934/35 the team was third in the final accounting and thus qualified for the Mitropa Cup . In the first round they defeated SK Rapid Wien 3-2 and 2-2, in the second round Ferencváros Budapest proved too strong. Although the team won the first leg with 4: 2, in the second leg they were clearly defeated with 1: 6. A fourth place in the domestic league in 1935/36 entitled to participate again in the most important European competition. This time, too, the team got into the second round via Lausanne-Sports (5: 0 and 1: 2), where they were clearly eliminated with 2: 3 and 1: 8 against Inter Milan . In the following season, the SK Židenice was only seventh, in 1937/38 he was able to repeat third place from the 1934/35 season. In the Mitropapokal, however, it was already over in the opening round. A 3-1 home win against Ferencvaros was not enough, as the team lost 3-0 in Budapest. In the years of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, the SK Židenice found themselves mostly in the middle of the table, exceptions were the seasons 1940/41, when they narrowly escaped relegation and 1942/43 when they finished fourth.
After the Second World War
The championship 1945/46 was held in two groups of ten, the SK Židenice was second behind Slavia Prague in group B. The following season 1946/47 was much worse, before the last game day Viktoria Žižkov and SK Libeň were relegated, another Relegated should come from the trio of SK Židenice, SK Olomouc ASO (22 points each) and SK Baťa Zlín (20 points), who had to compete against third-placed SK Kladno . Kladno surprisingly lost 3-2, both clubs were then convicted of corruption and had to be relegated. The investigation also revealed that SK Židenice had offered Kladno money, which is why the Brno team were also excluded from the league.
After the communist revolution in February 1948, the association fell under the patronage of the arms manufacturer Československá zbrojovka , and accordingly it was now called Zbrojovka Židenice Brno . After the forced relegation, the team succeeded in being promoted again immediately, but the next relegation followed in 1949. Three years later, Zbrojovka was first in his group in the second division, but narrowly failed in the subsequent qualifying tournament of the group winners. In 1953 there was the biggest reorganization in Czechoslovak football history, DSO Spartak Zbrojovka Brno , the new name was, was only third class.
Merger with RH Brno
In the same year the police association Rudá Hvězda Brno (German: Red Star Brno ), RH Brno for short, was founded and divided into the second division. Zbrojovka was weakened by the fact that it had to give the new, politically wanted club players. 1956 rose RH Brno in the first division, while Zbrojovka, renamed in Spartak Brno ZJŠ , was still third class. In the season 1959/60 Spartak Brno ZJŠ rose to the second division, in the following season RH Brno had to leave the top division again, so that both clubs met in the championship 1961/62. RH Brno won group B of the 2nd division, Spartak Brno ZJŠ was eighth. After the season both clubs merged, the name Spartak Brno ZJŠ was retained. For several years the club, which was allowed to start in the Messestädte-Pokal due to Brno's status as a trade fair city , was able to hold onto the top division, in 1967 it was relegated. The rise was only possible four years later in the 1970/71 season, when the club was already called TJ Zbrojovka Brno .
On the way to championship
In the first season after promotion, Zbrojovka narrowly escaped relegation. From that point on, the team and their new coach, František Havránek, were almost exclusively up. Twelfth place in 1972/73, tenth place in the following season. In the 1974/75 competition, the team without stars achieved an excellent fourth place. In the following year it was only enough for seventh place, a year later, the coach was Josef Masopust in the meantime , and they were fourth again in the final accounts.
In the 1977/78 season Zbrojovka reached the sporting climax of the club's history so far, the Czechoslovak football championship. Havránek had laid the foundations for this success, Masopust mainly called on the team's offensive potential , Karel Kroupa was the top scorer with 20 goals . In the 1978/79 European Cup , they moved over Újpest Budapest into the second round, in which they were eliminated due to the away goals rule against Wisła Krakow . For two years Zbrojovka was able to maintain almost the top level, was third in 1979 and runner-up in 1980. In addition, the team reached the quarter-finals of the 1979/80 UEFA Cup , in which Eintracht Frankfurt proved to be too strong an opponent.
The squad in the championship year 1977/78 was composed as follows:
Josef Hron , Eduard Došek ; January Klimeš , Karel Dvořák , Josef Pospíšil , Rostislav Václavíček , Josef Mazura , Jiří Hamřík , Miroslav Kotásek , Karel Jarůšek , Josef Pešice , Jindrich Svoboda , Jiří Hajský , Miroslab Bureš , Jaroslav Petrtýl , Petr Janečka , Karel Kroupa , January Kopenec , Libor Došek

end of an era
It would be the last great success of a whole generation of players. Already in 1981 Zbrojovka fell back to twelfth place in the table, two years later the team was relegated. She tried in vain to regain promotion, which she would have achieved through sport in 1985, but match-fixing in the background prevented her success. Only in 1989 did Zbrojovka Brno return to the 1st Czechoslovak League, in 1991 you had to start again in the second division.
Lubomír Hrstka alias Boby
From the 1991/92 season, at the end of which was the return to the first division, the former ice hockey player and current entrepreneur Lubomír Hrstka took over the fate of the club. His nickname Boby graced the club name for eight years. In the second year of the Hrstka era, Boby Brno was able to celebrate a success by making it into the Czech Cup final . Although they lost to Sparta Prague 2-0, but because the capital city started in the European Cup, Brno qualified for the European Cup Winners' Cup . Against Bayer 04 Leverkusen in the first round, Brno had no chance and lost 2-0 and 3-0.
In the 1990s, the club was able to build on successful times again and again, for example in the 1994/95 season when the team was third and in 1996/97 when they finished fourth, which entitles them to participate in the 1997/98 UEFA Cup . There the team was eliminated in the first round with 1: 6 and 2: 0 against SK Rapid Wien .
At that time, the Za Lužánkami stadium was one of the most popular in the Czech Republic. On the eighth match day of the 1996/97 season against Slavia Prague, 44,120 spectators came with a league average of around 6,000 spectators. At the turn of the millennium, Hrstka got into financial difficulties and had to sell the club. The stadium fell into disrepair and in 2001 was no longer suitable for the first division. The club had to leave their homeland and have since played in the Srbská stadium in the northern district of Královo Pole , which is not accepted by the fans. In recent years, the team has mostly ended up in the middle of the final table. In June 2010, the club returned to its former name Zbrojovka.
