About 1. FC Slovácko

1. FC Slovácko is a Czech football club based in Uherské Hradiště, in the Zlín Region. The club in its current form was created in 2000 through the merger of FC Slovácká Slavia Uherské Hradiště and FC Synot Staré Město, continuing a much older football tradition in the region that dates back to the early 20th century. In 2004, it adopted the name 1. FC Slovácko, under which it competes today in the Czech First League.

Since returning to the top division in the early 2000s, Slovácko has established itself as a stable Czech First League club, often finishing in the mid-table or pushing for higher positions. The club has reached the Czech Cup final twice (2005 and 2009) before finally achieving its biggest success much later. Over time, it also became known for competing in European qualifiers through league and cup performances, reflecting its steady rise in Czech football.

The greatest achievement in the club’s history came in the 2021–22 season, when 1. FC Slovácko won the Czech Cup, marking its first major national trophy. This success secured qualification for European competitions and confirmed the club’s status as one of the strongest modern Czech teams outside the traditional “big three” of Sparta, Slavia, and Viktoria Plzeň. Today, Slovácko is recognized as a well-organized and competitive club with a strong regional identity and growing presence in Czech football.
