FK Jablonec / FK Baumit Jablonec is the only club located in Jablonec on Nyssa. The club has remained in the top flight since 1993 and has not been relegated for 29 years. Compared to other clubs, Jablonets is not very old, only founded in 1945, and has only a history of 77 years. However, the club's results are not inferior, having won third in the top flight five times, second place once (only one point away from the first place), and eight times reaching the Czech Cup final and two cups, as will be mentioned in detail below.

Although Founded in 1945, Jablonec did not enter the Czechoslovak league system for the first time until 1975, and the club continued to work in the Second Division after being relegated in 1976. The 1993-1994 season was a turning point for the club. This season, Jablonec's return to the Czech Republic with the first place in the second division has also become the beginning of the club's 29 years of no relegation.
As mentioned above, Jablonitz was third five times and second once. However, the club has been volatile, having finished 14th at worst. But it seems that Jablonitz was favored by Lady Luck and was always a little closer to relegation. However, the club's luck in the Czech Cup has not been so good. Although Jablonitz has always been good at the Czech Cup, they have always lost in the final.

Yablonec finished only 13th last season and was spared the relegation play-offs due to their mutual success in the relegation zone. I wonder what kind of results Jablonets will be able to play next season?
