Club history
ISC Karlsbad
On September 29, 1904, a sports club called the International Sport Club (ISC) was founded in Karlovy Vary , where golf was initially played , and from 1905 tennis was also played. In the years that followed, football became more and more popular in the ISC, whereupon in 1909 a separate grass field was built in Fischern ( Rybáře ).
Karlovy Vary FK
In 1912, the footballers left the ISC and founded their own club called the Karlsbader Football Club . The ISC adopted blue and green as the club colors. In the first few years, many players from Vienna came to the KFK, not least because of the good job opportunities in the spa town of Karlsbad. The Karlsbader FK was one of the most successful German football clubs in Czechoslovakia in the 1920s and 1930s . His city rival DSV Sparta Karlsbad became amateur champions of the DFV in 1921/22.
In the 1929/30 season, the team first won the Gau West with a record of 13 wins and a draw with a goal difference of 78 to 11 and was able to beat DFK Komotau with 5: 1 and against BSK Gablonz with 3 in the final round : 1 enforce. In the final, the Karlovy Vary won 6-1 against the Brno SK . In the nationwide final round of the Czechoslovak Amateur Championship, the Karlovy Vary FK first defeated SK Hradec Králové 2: 4 and 4: 1 before failing in the semi-finals with 2: 2 and 2: 6 at AFK Kolín .
In 1931/32 the Karlsbader FK reached the final of the DFV championship again, but lost to DFC Prague with 1: 6 and 2: 3.
In the later single-track league, the Karlsbader FK could no longer build on the performances from previous years and even played against relegation in 1937/38.
After the break-up of Czechoslovakia, the NSTG Karlsbad was founded in 1940 , and all of the Karlovy Vary sports clubs were incorporated.
