The Sydney Football Club Prague, commonly known as Sydney Prague or just Prague, was a former association football club formed in 1951 by predominantly Czech Australians, which participated in the NSW State League from its foundation in 1957 until its amalgamation with Yugal at the beginning of the 1973 season.
Sydney Prague were one of the most successful sides of the late 1950s and early 1960s, consistently finishing high in leagues and cups. Prague were one of the first club sides to bring fast, attacking European style play to Australia, due to the influx of European ex-international players to the club in the late 1950s. Formemost was the hiring of the Austrian Leo Baumgartner in 1958, who became the hottest star in Sydney soccer with his arrival.
