Description
Available in:

K Chmel Blšany was a Czech football club based in the village of Blšany. The club played in the Czech First League between 1998 and 2006 and was the first professional club of goalkeeper Petr Čech. The club disbanded in 2016 after resigning from the 2016-17 regional championship (5th tier of the Czech Republic football league system).

The club was established as Sokol Blšany in 1946. The club played at the Městský Stadion with capacity of 2,300 seats. That meant that even with every citizen of Blšany village in the stand, there would be still about 1,500 free seats.

FK Chmel Blšany was founded in 1946 as Sokol Blšany. Only amateur football was played in Blšany for a long time. In 1988, the team managed to reach the division and three years later the third Czechoslovakian league. In 1993, FK Chmel Blšany (or Chmelaři as called by their fans) reached the second league and in 1998 the first. In the 1998–99 season, FK Blšany astonished the Czech Republic and achieved 6th place. In 2005–06, the team ended up last and were relegated to the second league. In 2006–07, their first season back in the 2. Liga, they finished eighth but were relegated to the third-tier ČFL due to not receiving a license from the league due to financial reasons. They finished last in the ČFL with just four wins in the 2007–08 season and were subsequently relegated for the third time in as many seasons. It did not get better in 2008–09 when, upon finishing 14th of 16 teams in Divize B of the Czech Fourth Division, they were relegated for the fourth time in a row, partially due to a three-point deduction due to financial concerns. In 2009–10 they finished third in the fifth-tier Ústí Region championship and avoided relegation for the first time since the 2004–05 season. At the end of the 2010–11 season, Blšany gained promotion back to the Czech Fourth Division.

Notable past players include Petr Čech (1999–2001), Jan Šimák (1996–2000), Jan Velkoborský (1999-203), Jiří Němec (2002–2003), Daniel Kolář (2005), Patrik Gedeon (1995–2001 & 2007) and Štěpán Vachoušek (2001).

Stadium or Home

FK Chmel Blšany is a multi-purpose stadium in Blšany, Czech Republic. It is currently used mostly for football matches and is the home ground of FK Chmel Blšany. The stadium holds 2,300 seated spectators.

In 1998–2006, the Czech First League was played there, as FK Chmel Blšany appeared in the top flight of Czech football. Currently the Czech Fourth Division is played there.

Before the reconstruction in 2003, the stadium was able to hold 4,500 people. The club was forced to play home matches at Stadion Na Litavce in Příbram during the 2003–04 Czech First League due to the width of the pitch being smaller than the required 68 metres. The club returned to their home stadium in February 2004 following reconstruction.

Later in 2004, Czech First League matches were again moved from Blšany, this time due to Blšany's stadium not having sufficient artificial lighting. During this time the team played home matches in Prague at FK Viktoria Stadion.
