The Czech Republic national football team (Czech: Česká fotbalová reprezentace), recognised by FIFA as Czechia,[3] represents the Czech Republic in men's international football. The team is controlled by the Football Association of the Czech Republic (FAČR). Historically, the team participated in FIFA and UEFA competitions as Bohemia and Czechoslovakia.[4][5][6][7][8]

They have taken part at every European Championship since. Following the separation, they have featured at one FIFA World Cup, the 2006 tournament.
