The 1.SK Prostějov is a Czech football club from the Moravian town of Prostějov . The club, founded in 1904, was first class from 1934 to 1938, from 1939 to 1943 and most recently in 1945/46 and was one of the best Czechoslovak professional clubs in the 1930s .

Club history

First successes in the 1920s

In 1904 a sports club was founded in Prostějov, which was called Sportovní kroužek Prostějov . Later he took the name SK Prostějov . The team was able to achieve first successes in the 1920s, when they became several times Moravian champions and in 1928 Czechoslovak amateur champions.

1930s: At the peak

In 1933 the club introduced professional football and rose to the first division in 1934. In the 1935/36 season, the team came third, a success that the SK could repeat a year later. The years 1936 and 1937 are the most successful in the club's history. In both years the SK Prostějov took part in the Mitropa Cup . In 1936 the team won in the round of 16 against SK Admira Vienna and was eliminated in the quarter-finals against Újpest Budapest . In 1937 , the team failed in the round of 16 at Grasshoppers Zurich .

War years: the star is sinking

In 1938 the team was relegated after a failed season, but managed to get promoted again immediately. In 1940 she reached the Czech Cup final , but was subject to the then second division SK Olomouc ASO . The big time was over, however. As early as 1943, the SK descended again. Although he was incorporated into the 20-team state league in the first post-war season 1945/46, but could not hold the class.

The deep fall

After that, the club could no longer build on the pre-war successes. 1973 rose Železárny Prostějov, as the club was called since 1959, even in the 4th division, the return only succeeded in 1976. At the end of the 1976/77 season there was a reorganization of the divisions, Železárny Prostějov was only allowed in the Divize , the 4. Start the league. In 1980 they returned to the 3rd division. After a further restructuring of the league system in 1981 Prostějov came into the 2nd division, but rose again in 1984 to the 3rd division and was passed straight through to the 4th division. With the 11th place in 1990/91 in the Divize D , the relegation was barely avoided, the preliminary low point of football in Prostějov was reached. But it was to get worse: The main sponsor, the ironworks ( Železárny ) left in 1995, the club took on the old name SK Prostějov again and only registered the men's team in the 5th division.

Rise through merger and fall again

The positive turn came in 1996: SK Prostějov merged with the second division club SK LeRK Brno of entrepreneur Bořivoj Kresta to form SK LeRK Prostějov . The sponsor's abbreviation LeRK stood for Le vně (cheap) R ychle (fast) K valitně (qualitative). The club held for years relatively unsuccessfully in the 2nd division, until in 2003 it volunteered only for the MSFL, the 3rd division, as its own stadium was no longer suitable for the second division. Then the best players left the team, which could not hold up in the 3rd division and was relegated as bottom of the table. The same thing happened in the 2004/05 Divize D . The club was about to be dissolved, and the end of football in Prostějov threatened. In the end, the 1st SK Prostějov bought the license of the SK LeRK, so that in 2005/06 the free fall could be stopped, albeit just barely.

Temporary end of men's football

Due to financial difficulties, the club felt compelled to deregister and dissolve the men's team before the 2007/08 season, the forces were concentrated on youth football.

New beginning

In the meantime the club plays under the name 1.SK Prostějov. In the third-rate Moravian-Silesian football league.
