About SK Smíchov

SK Smíchov is a historic football club from the Smíchov district of Prague, with origins dating back to 1900, when it was founded as a student sports group called Čechie. Shortly after, it changed its name to Sportovní kroužek studentů Smíchov and later, in 1903, became Sportovní klub Smíchov. In its early years, the club was part of the first generation of Czech football teams and played an important role in the development of organized football in Prague.

During the early 20th century, SK Smíchov did not have a permanent stadium and played its matches on various makeshift pitches in Prague, including Santoška, Mrázovka, and training grounds of other clubs such as Slavia. Despite these limitations, the club grew in importance and in 1914 gained access to a dedicated area on Letná, where it built its first facilities. In 1920, SK Smíchov secured a pitch on Císařská louka, which became one of the better football grounds in Prague at the time and significantly supported the club’s development.
