About FK Teplice

FK Teplice is a professional football club based in Teplice, Czech Republic, founded in 1945 shortly after World War II. The team, nicknamed “Skláři” (Glassblowers), plays in the Czech First League and hosts its home matches at the Na Stínadlech stadium. In its early years, the club quickly rose through the ranks, reaching the top division of Czechoslovak football within just a few seasons and establishing itself as a regular participant in the country’s top leagues.

After the political and economic changes of the early 1990s, Teplice experienced a revival supported by new sponsorship, which helped the club return to the top tier in the 1996–97 season. Its most successful league campaign came in 1998–99, when it finished as runner-up and qualified for European competitions, including participation in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers. The club also achieved notable success in domestic cup competitions, winning the Czech Cup in 2003 (and later again in 2009).

On the European stage, FK Teplice has had several appearances across UEFA competitions, with its best run coming in the 2003–04 UEFA Cup, where it reached the third round after defeating strong opponents. In the modern era, the club remains a stable member of the Czech First League, typically finishing in mid-table positions while continuing to develop players and compete domestically. Despite not being among the top elite clubs, Teplice holds a respected place in Czech football history.
