The FK Varnsdorf is a Czech football club from the border town of Varnsdorf . Until it was renamed in 2011, the club was called SK Slovan Varnsdorf .
Club history
Varnsdorf had a majority German population until 1945. In 1907, DFC Warnsdorf was the first football club in town, followed in 1912 by SK Edelgrund, which was called SK Germania Warnsdorf from 1919. The DFC and Germania merged in 1931 to form Warnsdorfer FK , which in 1940 became the NSTG .
The Czech residents founded SK Hraničáři Varnsdorf in 1938 . After the expulsion of the German population at the end of the Second World War , the SK Hraničáři was initially the only club in the city. At the end of the 1940s the association came under the patronage of Elite -Werke and henceforth operated under the name Sokol Elite Varnsdorf. In 1952, Sokol Velveta Varnsdorf - this club was subordinate to the Velveta plant - was another association.
Both Elite and Velveta took part in the 1952 Krajská soutěž . At that time, this was the second highest division after the national 1st division, in which more than 200 teams participated. Only one year later, in 1953, the two Varnsdorf clubs, Elite and Velveta, merged as part of a reorganization of Czechoslovak sport: the new club was called Jiskra and was now playing in third class. In 1955 there was another reorganization, whereby Jiskra was only fourth class. In 1957, Jiskra merged with Spartak Varnsdorf to form Slovan Varnsdorf. In 2011 there was another renaming, namely in FK Varnsdorf. The club has kept this name to this day.
Until 1975, the clubs in Varnsdorf used the space near the train station that was built by the DFC in 1911. In 1967 the construction of a new stadium (Kotlina or v Kotlině) began not far from the school. The stadium at the train station was demolished and replaced by buildings from the Velveta plant.
Slovan never appeared nationwide until the end of the 1990s, in 1998 the team was promoted to the ČFL , the third-highest Czech league. Due to the license refusal for the first division relegated FK Bohemians Prague and lack of license applications from the third division in places two to five, Slovan Varnsdorf rose to the second division in sixth place in the third division in the 2009/10 season . In the first second division season 2010/11 the class could be held by a 13th place at the end of the season. In the second year of membership in the second division, the club , which has now been renamed FK Varnsdorf , had little to do with the relegation battle and occupied a secured midfield position at the end of the season. In the 2012/13 season, the team even reached fifth place in the table and continues to play second class. By winning points in the 0-0 draw in the home game of the penultimate match day of the 2014/15 season against table leader Sigma Olmütz, the club secured second place in the table, which would have entitled them to the first promotion to the top Czech division. However, Varnsdorf was denied the license and the third FC Fastav Zlín rose instead .
