Probably the most famous nickname of this successful club is Sešívani, or also Red and White. Their stadium is Eden, now known as Sinobo Stadium, which offers 20,232 seats. The club's main rivalry is of course with its more historically successful neighbour, Sparta Prague.
Naturally, a number of notable players have come through a club like Slavia. To name but a few, František Plánička, Jan Košek, Antonín Puč, František Svoboda, Vladimír Šmicer and, most recently, Milan Škoda.
The club was founded in 1892 and is based in Vršovice, Prague. Its origin is connected with the patriotic student Literary and Speech Society Slavia in Vodičkova Street. It first became the league champion in 1913, back then in the era of Czechoslovak football. The club enjoyed its greatest fame between 1932 and 1939. In total, it has 19 league titles, making it the second most successful premier league club. Since the formation of the 1st Czech Football League in 1993, it has won 5 of those titles.
Slavia has also won the Czech Cup 9 times, most recently in the 2017/18 and 2018/19 seasons. Of their already historic successes on the international stage, they have won the former Central European Cup in 1938, as well as the Intertoto Cup 7 times. In the UEFA Champions League, their best finish so far is 3rd place in the group in 2007/08 and they also have a number of UEFA Europa League appearances. The strengthened squad of recent years is now showing interesting performances in Europe.
If we look at the club's recent history, while it has faced existential problems and debts since 2009, everything changed with the arrival of a new Chinese owner in 2015. This is China Energy Company Limited (CEFC). The club is co-owned with Fly Sports Investments by Jiri Simane, who has also sponsored the club in the past and brought in a Chinese strategic partner to help the club out of debt.
The money has brought in new foreign reinforcements and the club has started to dominate the Czech league quite visibly, considering the maturity of the game. However, Šimáně did not like the excessive purchase of players and got into a dispute with the manager Jaroslav Tvrdík, a former ČSSD politician and current manager of the club. Šimáně eventually got the opportunity to work at Slávia's youth academy and reconciled with Tvrdík.
