Gambrinus Liga
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gambrinus liga is the official name of the Czech football premier league. "Gambrinus" is the name of the the best selling beer in the Czech Republic produced by the main sponsor – Plzeňský Prazdroj, a. s.
The league has 16 teams. At the end of each season the top teams in the League qualify for the European cups. Currently, two top teams enter the UEFA Champions League, the team placed third (together with the winner of the Czech Cup) enters the UEFA Cup qualifying; the fourth team plays Intertoto Cup. The two lowest placed teams are relegated into the 2nd Czech League.
The history of the Czech Premier League began at the end of 19th century. It was reorganized for the 1993/1994 season, after the dissolution of the former Czechoslovakia and therefore of the Czechoslovak League. The most famous clubs are Sparta Prague, Slavia Prague, Slovan Liberec, Baník Ostrava, and FK Teplice.
