History
The club was formed in 1904 as Sportovní kroužek Prostějov, before being renamed SK Prostějov in 1907.[1] Prostějov took part in the Czechoslovak First League for the first time in the 1934–35 season,[1] going on to third-placed finishes in the 1935–36 and 1936–37 seasons. They reached the final of the national cup in 1940, losing 5–2 on aggregate to SK Olomouc.[2] In the 1941–42 season, the club achieved its best domestic result, finishing second in the table behind Slavia Prague. In the 1945–46 season the club was relegated from the First League. The club then appeared among the second, third and fourth levels of football in Czechoslovakia and later the Czech Republic.
After the 2002–03 Czech 2. Liga, Prostějov were forcibly relegated, because their stadium did not meet the Football Association criteria.[3] In the 2015–16 season, 1. SK Prostějov won the Moravian-Silesian Football League and were promoted to the second-tier Czech National Football League.[4]
