About Dukla Prague
FK Dukla Prague are one of Czech football's most storied clubs, a Prague army team founded in 1948 whose golden era in the 1960s and 1970s made them the powerhouse of Czechoslovak football and the backbone of one of international football's most celebrated national sides. Eleven-time Czechoslovak champions, Dukla provided the spine of the Czechoslovakia team that reached the 1962 World Cup final and the 1960 European Championship final. The club also earned a permanent place in British music history, making the Dukla Prague away kit one of the most famous shirts in football culture. Founded in 1948, FK Dukla Prague are based in Prague, Czech Republic, and compete in the lower tiers of Czech football after several reorganisations. They play at Na Julisce in Prague. The club were historically backed by the Czechoslovak military as an army club. Major honours include 11 Czechoslovak First League titles and multiple Czechoslovak Cup wins. Their home colours are yellow. The distinctive yellow home kit of Dukla Prague carries the weight of Czechoslovak football history, worn by a club that produced international footballers of the highest calibre in the 1960s and 1970s. The kits from the championship-winning eras of the 1960s were functional and distinctive, typically plain yellow shirts worn by players who were among the best in world football. The famous away kit, immortalised in British music culture, has become one of the most talked-about shirts in Czech football even among people who have never seen Dukla play. The simple yellow home shirt remains the enduring image of a club with a remarkable legacy.
