Czechoslovakia National Football Team (non-existent since end-1993)

The Czechoslovakia national football team was the national football team of Czechoslovakia, before the country was split into the Czech Republic and Slovakia. It was controlled by the Czechoslovak Football Association from 1922 to 1993. The team had two runner-up finishes in World Cups (1934, 1962) and a European Championship win in 1976.

Czechoslovakia qualified for the final stages of the 1990 World Cup and shortly afterwards their national coach Jozef Venglos moved to England to become Aston Villa manager, although his tenure was not a success and lasted just one season.

The national team was wound up in 1993 on the dissolution of Czechoslovakia to create the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
