Description

FK Viktoria Žižkov ranks among the oldest football clubs in the Czech Republic. It was founded by a group of students in 1903 in the city of Žižkov (since 1922 part of Praha). Viktoria's main successes fall into the period between the world wars — until 1948 it was the third most successful Czechoslovak club, winning the Czechoslovak championship in 1928. After the second world war and the beginning of communism in 1948 it descended to the lower leagues where it remained until 1993 when it was promoted again to the highest league. Viktoria achieved much success between 1993 and 2003, winning the national cup in 1994 and 2001 and competing in four European cups.

In 2002 Viktoria Žižkov famously knocked Scottish champions Rangers out of the UEFA cup. In 2004, after a string of poor results and a corruption scandal, the team descended again to the second league. In 2007 the team successfully made it back to the 1st league, finishing the season as champions of the 2nd league.
