The Football Association of the Czech Republic (; FAČR), or colloquially the Czech Football Association, is the governing body of association football in the Czech Republic based in Prague.

History

The first predecessor was established as Bohemian Football Union on 19 October 1901 in Austro-Hungarian constituency Kingdom of Bohemia. From 1922 to 1993, during the existence of Czechoslovakia, the association was known as the Czechoslovak Football Association (; ČSAF) and controlled the Czechoslovakia national football team. After the partition of Czechoslovakia the association took the name Bohemian-Moravian Football Federation (; ČMFS) until June 2011.

On 3 May 2017, Police of the Czech Republic raided the headquarters of the association and other institutions in connection with the redistribution of state subsidies by the Ministry of Education for 2017. Chairman of the association, Miroslav Pelta, was arrested during the event. Another raid on the association's headquarters took place on 16 October 2020, with 20 people detained, including vice-chairman .
