From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
FC Bohemians Praha (currently named as Bohemians 1905) is a Prague-based football club with over a hundred years of history. It is one of the most popular clubs in the Czech Republic. It's most successful era came in the early 1980s when the club won the Czechoslovakian League Championship and advanced to the semifinals of the UEFA Cup (both in 1983). In the year 2005 it survived a crisis, which was a consequence of bad management. The club was relegated to the 3rd Czech division due to its financial insolvency, but later was saved by its fans who paid off portion of the club's debts. The club was able to advance back to the 1st league in 2007, but in 2008 the team was relegated again to the second league.
Its colors are green and white. The home stadium located in Vršovice is called Ďolíček. The best known player from Bohemians' history is Antonín Panenka. Bohemian's mascot is a kangaroo, the legacy of a 1927 tour of Australia. Following the tour, the club was awarded two live kangaroos, which they donated to the Prague Zoo.
