Slavia Prague SK Slavia Prague, founded in 1892, enjoyed its golden era between the wars. Wearing the colours of Sešívaní (The Stitched-Together) was Josef Bican, regarded by many football historians as the most prolific goalscorer in the sport's history with over 800 career goals, while goalkeeper František Plánička, captain of Czechoslovakia's 1934 World Cup final side, guarded the net. That generation brought the club three Central European (Mitropa) Cup titles, the era's equivalent of the European Cup.
The most memorable match of the modern era came on 29 August 2007, when Slavia beat Ajax Amsterdam 2–1 at home in a Champions League play-off, sealing the club's first-ever qualification for the group stage of the competition.
Slavia play in their distinctive red-and-white shirts featuring an inverted red star, and host matches at their stadium in Prague's Vršovice district, known for decades simply as Eden. The age-old rivalry with Sparta Prague in the so-called "S" Derby is one of Central Europe's oldest and fiercest football traditions.
