History
Bohemia was an early adopter of football.[1][2][3] Football originated in Bohemia in early 1890s, when two of the most famous clubs, Sparta and Slavia, were founded. They met for the first time, for a rivalry later to become known as the Prague derby, in March 1896.[1]
The first Bohemian championship (1896) was won by ČFK Kickers Prague (spring). Deutscher Fußball-Club Prag won the championship in autumn of the same year. In 1897 Slavia were victorious for a number of years until, in 1902, the championship was won by ČAFC Vinohrady. The Czechoslovak First League was the highest football league in Czechoslovakia from 1925 to 1993.
