The Prague Football Championship is a football competition for teams in the Prague metropolitan area of the Czech Republic. The competition is organized by the Prague Football Association (PFA) and is one of the regional leagues that make up the Czech football league system.

History

[edit]

The Prague Football Championship was founded in 1919, shortly after the formation of the Czechoslovak Republic. The competition initially consisted of teams from Prague and its surrounding areas, and was one of the top regional leagues in the country.

In the early years, the championship was dominated by the biggest Prague clubs such as Sparta Prague, Slavia Prague and DFC Prague. However, as the competition grew, more and more smaller clubs began to participate, leading to a more diverse range of winners.

During the Communist era, the Prague Football Championship was merged with other regional leagues to form the Central Bohemian Championship. However, following the Velvet Revolution of 1989, the competition was re-established as a separate entity.

Format

[edit]

The Prague Football Championship is currently divided into several divisions, with promotion and relegation between them. The top division is the Prague Football League, which consists of 16 teams. The second division is the Prague Football Division A, which consists of 16 teams, and so on.

At the end of each season, the top teams from each division are promoted to the division above, while the bottom teams are relegated to the division below.

Notable Clubs

[edit]

Some of the most successful clubs in the history of the Prague Football Championship include Sparta Prague, Slavia Prague, DFC Prague, Viktoria Žižkov, Bohemians Prague and FC Zličín.
