history

A football team was set up in Butovice on September 14, 1912, and an official sports club was founded three quarters of a year later. In 1930 it was renamed SK Praha XVII . Before the Second World War , the association could not celebrate any national successes. In 1949 there was a major player decree , which was compensated for by a merger with ZSJ Praha Jinonice , the former company team SK Walter Jinonice .

In 1953 there was a major reorganization of sport in Czechoslovakia, and almost all clubs were given a new name. Sokol Šverma Jinonice became Spartak Praha Motorlet, named after an engine manufacturer based in the same part of Prague. Two years later, in 1955, Motorlet was playing for promotion to the 2nd division. On the last day of the match there was a decisive promotion duel against direct rivals Spartak Ústí nad Labem . With a score of 5: 1 for Motorlet, some guest fans stormed the pitch and the game had to be stopped. Motorlet was awarded the victory at the green table, which meant that the team from Jinonice was second class for the first time in the club's history.

In the next few years the team was mostly placed in the midfield. 1962/63 Motorlet won group A of the second division and rose to the first Czechoslovakian division. On May 26, 1963 Motorlet won the decisive game against pursuers Kovo Dečín 3-1 in front of 12,000 spectators in the Eden stadium in Slavia Prague .

However, the first division turned out to be a step too high for Motorlet. With only one win and five draws from 26 games with a goal difference of 13:67, the team was relegated from bottom of the table. Also in the second division could not hold, whereby Motorlet was the undoing that this was reduced from three to two groups.

Motorlet returned to the 2nd division once more, in 1983/84. From 1994 the entrepreneur Georgis Patenidis tried to bring the club up, naming the club after himself, after six years he saw the project as a failure and withdrew.

In 2003 the team was even relegated from the 4th division, but managed to get promoted again immediately.

In the all-time table of the Czechoslovak League from 1945 to 1993 Motorlet Prague ranks 52nd out of 55 teams.
