The former army team dominated the Czechoslovak Football League especially in the late 1950s and 1960s . After the regime change in late 1989, Dukla Prague lost much of its importance, in 1997 the men's team was transferred to Příbram .
Club history
The early years: ATK Prague, 1948 to 1952
After the takeover of the Communist Party in Czechoslovakia in February 1948, it has sought the Army of Soviet make a model. So, from the best football players of the Czechoslovak Army on October 1 of the year a sports club called Armádní tělovýchovný club to German literally Army Association for Physical Education . For the state league season 1948, the team had qualified in three games against MZK Pardubice under the name Armádní XI . The establishment of an army sports club led to resentment on the part of the other clubs, which now had to surrender their players to the ATK for the time of the basic military service. This in turn had to struggle with the problem that he had an oversized squad with mostly reluctant soccer players. Due to the constantly coming and going players, continuous training work was also difficult.
Another problem of the Letná stadium of Sparta Prague gambling ATK was the lack of support from the spectators, who saw no reason their traditional favorite clubs like Sparta or Slavia to turn his back. For these reasons, the results of the ATK in the first few years were modest. In the first season mentioned, he was only eighth in 14 teams, but this season, due to the changeover to the calendar year system, each team only played 13 games. In 1949 the ATK was fourth, a year later fifth. The team repeated this end result in 1951, and in 1952 it was only eighth. In this game year the squad slowly stabilized, and even if the worst placement in the club's short history was recorded , the foundations for future successes were laid by coach Karel Kolský , a former Sparta Prague player.
The first successes: ÚDA Prague, 1953 to 1956
In 1953 ATK Ústřední dům armády became literally in German: Central Army House, the jersey color was changed to red and yellow. ÚDA was to become the base club for the national team, following the example of the Soviet ZDSA Moscow . That is why the top three players were transferred from Slavia Prague, which at that time was called Dynamo Prague. The reputation of the army sports club was damaged even more by this measure. Not least because of this, the three players soon left the club.
In 1953, the team won the championship, which was only played in 13 games. At the 1954 World Cup , which ended quickly for Czechoslovakia after two defeats, ÚDA provided seven players. In the 1954 season it was only enough for the club to finish fourth, in 1955 the team finished second. After the first half of the season she was still leader of the table, which gave her the opportunity to start in the Mitropa Cup. After victories over FC Bologna (4: 2 and 3: 0) and Slovan Bratislava (0: 0, 2: 2 and 2: 1) the final was lost against the Hungarian club Vörös Lobogo with 0: 6 and 1: 2. ÚDA made a name for itself in Western Europe by participating in the 1956 Easter tournament in Antwerp , where the host team was defeated 5-0 and Botafogo from Brazil 1-0. At the end of the year, ÚDA also secured the championship title in the domestic league.
The late 1950s: Dukla Prague, the beginning of domination
In the winter of 1956 the club name was changed again, this time to AS Dukla Praha . The name Dukla goes back to the Duklapass (Slovak: Dukliansky priesmyk ), in the vicinity of which Czechoslovak soldiers crossed the Polish - Slovakian border in 1944 after an 80-day battle and began to liberate their homeland. The renaming did not only affect the Prague club: all army sports clubs were given the name Dukla.
The team was allowed to start in the European Cup for the first time , but was eliminated in the first round with 0: 3 and 1: 0 against Manchester United . The 1957/58 league season was played in three rounds to switch back to the autumn-spring mode. Dukla was champion after 33 games. In 1959 it was enough behind Červená hviezda Bratislava only to second place, during the season Karel Kolský left the club, as the new coach Bohumil Musil was committed, who in turn was replaced after just one year by Jaroslav Vejvoda . At the 1958 World Cup, Dukla put six players in the Czechoslovak squad, including Josef Masopust . After beating Dinamo Zagreb (2: 2 and 2: 1) in the national championship cup, the team went into the second round, in which the Viennese sports club (1: 3 and 1: 0) proved to be too difficult an opponent. At the turn of the year 1958/59 Dukla undertook a trip to Central America, which was sporty, but at least included a 4-3 win against FC Santos with Pelé .
In 1959 the A-Juniors Duklas won the Czechoslovak Championship for the first and only time.
The 1960s: Dukla dominated the league and also won the cup
In 1960, with the construction of the Juliska Stadium , Dukla finally got its own home. In terms of sport, the team was unrivaled, especially in the first half of the 1960s . Between 1961 and 1964 all teams were left behind. The team also won the Czechoslovak Cup in 1961. In the national championship cup, Dukla reached the quarter-finals in 1961/62 , 1962/63 and 1963/64 , but failed there to Tottenham Hotspur (1: 0 and 1: 4), Benfica Lisbon (1: 2 and 0: 0) and Borussia Dortmund (0: 4 and 3: 1).
In the summer of 1961 Dukla made a trip to North America, the team won nine of ten games and played one draw. At the 1962 World Cup in Chile , where Czechoslovakia only lost to Brazil in the final , six players from the club were in the squad: Josef Masopust , who was also voted Europe's Footballer of the Year that year , Ladislav Novák , František Šafránek , Svatopluk Pluskal , Josef Jelínek and Jozef Adamec .
In the 1964/65 season there was a change and Dukla was only eighth, but was able to win the national cup. In 1965/66 Dukla managed to win the double for the first and only time, although the team in the league was only in seventh place after the first half of the season. The goal difference decided on the championship win with the same goal difference with Sparta Prague. The team was also successful in the European Cup of National Champions in 1966/67 . After victories over Esbjerg fB (2: 0 and 4: 0), RSC Anderlecht (4: 1 and 2: 1) and Ajax Amsterdam (1: 1 and 2: 1) they reached the semi-finals, in which the eventual winner Celtic Glasgow could no longer be defeated (1: 3 and 0: 0).
In the late 1960s, Dukla was no longer so successful, even if a placement in the top half of the table was achieved. In 1969 the Czechoslovak Cup was won again, but in the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1969/70 , the first round opponent Olympique Marseille (1-0 and 0-2) proved to be too big a hurdle.
International Soccer League
From 1961 to 1965 Dukla took part in the North American International Soccer League (ISL), which she could always win until last year. In 1961, Dukla took part in the league games and won the final against Everton 7-2 and 2-0. In the following years she only flew in as the defending champion for the final of the so-called American Challenge Cup . In 1962 Dukla defeated the Brazilian Elf América from Rio 1: 1 and 2: 1, in 1963 the Czechoslovaks beat West Ham United 1: 0 and 1: 1 , and in 1964 Dukla defeated the Polish team Zagłębie Sosnowiec 3: 1 and 1: 1. It was not until 1965, the last year of the ISL, that Dukla was brought to his knees by Polonia Bytom 2-0 and 1-1.
The 1970s: mixed success, sometimes up, then down again
The 1970/71 season was a preliminary low point for the army club, which only finished 13th in the league. In the following three years, however, Dukla played with them again. 1974/75 was again a weaker year with 9th place. But then the curve pointed up again: fourth place in 1975/76 and winning the championship, it was the ninth title in 1976/77. The European chapter came to an end quickly, albeit unhappily , in 1977/78 : FC Nantes were in the second round after a 1-1 and a 0-0 due to away goals. In the league, Dukla had to give way to Zbrovojka Brno , who celebrated his first and so far last title win, two points behind . The team had success in 1978/79 not only at home, where they won their tenth title, but also in the UEFA Cup . After victories over Lanerossi Vicenza (1: 0 and 1: 1), FC Everton (1: 2 and 1: 0) and VfB Stuttgart (1: 4 and 4: 0) they were first eliminated against Hertha BSC with 1: 1 and 1: 2 off.
The 1980s: the last titles
In the early 1980s , Dukla played regularly for the championship and was able to win the title in 1981/82. Admittedly, nobody suspected at this point that it would be the last championship win for the time being. The club was also successful in the cup, winning it in 1981, 1983 and 1985. In the 1985/86 European Cup Winners' Cup , Dukla made it to the semi-finals. One after another, AEL Limassol (2: 2 and 4: 0), AIK (1: 0 and 2: 2) and Benfica Lisbon (1: 0 and 1: 2) were eliminated. In the semifinals, Dynamo Kiev were too strong, Dukla lost 0: 3 and 1: 1. In the Czechoslovak league, ninth place in 1986/87 was a small low point, in the following years the team played again with the front.
The 1990s: move to Příbram, merger of the youth department with Dukla Dejvice
After the collapse of the communist regime, there was no financial support from the Ministry of Defense. The new entrepreneur Bohumír Ďuričko bought Dukla for twelve million crowns and planned to build a small luxury district in the vicinity of the stadium. The sport was less interested in Ďuričko and the club, which was already playing against relegation in the early 1990s, had to leave the Czech House of Lords in 1994 with the lowest of all budgets. In the following season 1994/95 Dukla received no license for the 2nd division and took third place in the third-highest division ČFL . In the 1996/97 season, the adult division merged with FC Příbram, exchanged the league with this, that is, the B team now played as FC Dukla Příbram in the third division, and rose as champions in the first division. When Ďuričko's building project came to nothing, the club moved from Prague to Příbram and now played under the name "FC Dukla". Ďuričko sold the association to the local entrepreneur Jaroslav Starka. A year later, Příbram was included in the club name. Since 2000, the association has been sponsored by the food company Marila .
In 1998 the youth department founded FK Dukla Praha, os . So while the men's team played in 2001 as FC Marila Příbram in the Gambrinus League and is legally a different subject, the eight junior teams in Prague competed as FK Dukla Praha . In 2001 the club's management decided to merge with FK Dukla Dejvice and thus to register a men's team for play again. Dukla Dejvice , meanwhile VTJ Dejvice , was an army sports club founded in 1958, whose football team never got beyond the fifth division. The newly formed team took the place of Dukla Dejvice in Pražský přebor , the fifth highest division.
Recent development - return to professional football
The new, very young team played against relegation in 2001/02, which they could no longer avoid in 2002/03. 2003/04 Dukla succeeded in the immediate rise again. In 2004/05 the team fought for promotion to the 4th division ( Divize ), but had to be content with second place. In 2005/06 Dukla only narrowly escaped relegation. The club's audience was low, with only 50 to 100 people interested in each home game.
In autumn 2006, Dukla Prague agreed with the Moravian second division team Jakubčovice Fotbal to take over his professional license from the 2007/08 season. With the help of the quarry entrepreneur Josef Hájek, Jakubčovice was promoted from the lowest class to the second division within a few years . In the winter break of 2006/07 Dukla coach Günter Bittengel was sent to Jakubčovice to train the team there and to select suitable players for the coming second division season in Prague. Jiří Němec was his assistant coach there as well as in Prague. Dukla lost the first game in professional football in ten years in front of 1,468 spectators at the Juliska stadium against SFC Opava with 1: 2.
Although FK Dukla Praha is not the legal successor of the former club of the same name, he refers to the history and the successes. FK Marila Příbram does the same .
In the 2010/11 season, Dukla made it to the top Czech league.

Dates and numbers
Audience approval
Since it was founded in 1948, Dukla Prague has had little audience participation. On the one hand, this was due to the fact that it was a state-created club that also recruited the best players from the other clubs. On the other hand, most of the Prague residents already had a club in their hearts by 1948, be it Sparta Prague, Slavia Prague or Bohemians Prague . So Dukla had no roots among the people and could "only" attract viewers with attractive football. The average attendance up to the 1992/93 season was 5,765 spectators, of the long-standing first division clubs only SKP Union Cheb with 4,526, Inter Bratislava with 4,445 and Dukla Banská Bystrica with 3,665 visitors per game were significantly worse, mind you, all police and army clubs. Most of the viewers came in the times of greatest success in the 1960s (record 9,250 in the championship season 1963/64).
At the end of the 1980s and the beginning of the 1990s, the average was just over 1,000 spectators per home game. On the 24th matchday of the relegation season 1993/94, a negative record was set up with 459 paying visitors against Sigma Olmütz . According to the new management, the absent spectators were - in addition to the dire financial situation - one of the reasons for the association's move to Příbram.
Club names
Dukla Prague was founded on October 1st, 1948 as Armádní tělocvičný klub (ATK Praha, in German: Army Association for Physical Exercise Prague).
