Far and away the most successful club in the history of Czech football, Sparta came into being as a sports club way back in December 1893 when three friends decided to set up something to last. The side in redcurrant simply dominated Czechoslovak football, winning the Czechoslovak league a whopping 21 times (including eight championships out of the last 10). This domination continued in the Czech league, where Iron Sparta won seven of the first eight titles. Sparta play at the Generali Arena (known informally as Stadion Letná).
