The Czech national football team is controlled by the Czech Football
Association since 1901. It was renamed Czechoslovak Football Association in 1922-1993 for the Czechoslovakia national football team. In the Czechoslovak period the national team
achieved its best results so far, including two runner-up finishes in World
Cups and a European Championship
win. After the partition of Czechoslovakia, the association renamed itself The Football Association of the Czech
Republic (Czech: Českomoravskı Fotbalovı Svaz).
