5 famous football clubs that do not exist anymore

#4 Dukla Prague

Masopust was one of the most famous footballers to don Dukla Prague’s shirt

Dukla Prague was one of the most successful sides in Czechoslovakia, winning the top-flight 11 times as well as the Czechoslovak Cup on 8 occasions. They were also the first team to win the domestic cup and by doing so, became the first team in the country to win the double.

The Prague side became Czechoslovakia’s pride in Europe, as Dukla reached the European Cup semi-final in 1966/67, losing 3-1 on aggregate to eventual winners, Celtic. They also managed to reach the semis of the Cup Winners’ Cup in 1985/86 and even boasted of a Ballon d’Or winner in their brief 48-year history. The man who won it, Josef Masopust, was a part of the Czechoslovakia side that reached the finals of the FIFA World Cup in 1962, a team that also contained 6 other Dukla Prague players.

It was to end in misery for Dukla as they fell to the 3^rd division, before becoming FK Pribram as part of a merger in 1996.
