Sparta Prague have been crowned Czech football league champions for the 37th time in the club’s history. After a 0:0 draw away to Slovácko on Tuesday evening, Sparta sealed the title with an unassailable lead in the penultimate round of the “superstructure”.
The victory was celebrated by around 1,500 Sparta fans who had travelled to Slovácko’s ground in the Moravian town of Uherské Hradiště. It was the first time in nine years that Sparta had won the league.
The club’s manager, Vítězslav Lavička, said: “It’s a great feeling to be champions again. We’ve worked hard for this and I’m proud of the team.”
Sparta’s 37th league title is a testament to the club’s long-standing success in Czech football. With the season now over, the team can look forward to a well-deserved break before they begin their preparations for the next campaign.
