Czechoslovak Cup Explained

The Czechoslovak Cup (Czech: Československý pohár) was a football cup competition held in Czechoslovakia. It was officially created in 1960 and folded in 1993 with the split between Czech Republic and Slovakia.

The cup was played throughout Czechoslovakia until 1968–69. From the 1969–70 season to the 1992–93 season, the cup was played between the winners of Czech Cup (Český pohár) and Slovak Cup (Slovenský pohár), which were thus the semi-finals of the Czechoslovak Cup. The modern Czech Cup and Slovak Cup are the successors of the Czechoslovak Cup.

Sparta Prague and Dukla Prague were the most successful clubs winning both 8 times. In total, Czech teams lifted the Cup 20 times, and Slovak teams 13 times.

The origins of the cup are in unofficial tournaments played in 1950–51, 1951–52, 1955 and 1959–60 season.
