The master's thesis deals with the history of football matches between Prague's Sparta and Slavia between years 1891 to 1918. The introduction focuses on the history of football in our territory and worldwide to better understand the beginnings and to become acquainted with the situation of both clubs at that time. The main part of the thesis is divided into individual matches between the teams from their first encounter until June 9, 1918, shortly after which Austria- Hungary ceased to exist. Since this period is not the most successful era for either of the clubs there are not many historical sources. The information is mainly based on newspaper articles from a publication called Národní listy, newspapers that was being published at that time. Furthermore, the thesis introduces the most significant players, coaches, and personalities of both clubs, who had a significant influence on the clubs' operations at the time, impacted the youth, and divided Czech citizens into two camps, maintaining this tradition of rivalry to this day. The conclusion of the thesis contains findings regarding which team had better leadership during this period and achieved more victories in their internal rivalry.
