The history of American football in the Czech Republic began to be written after World War II. At that time, soldiers of the American liberation forces faced each other here. However, it took a little longer before the first team settled in our territory.Prague Lions rewrote this history in 1991 when they became the first team of American football in the Czech Republic. The first trainings of the Lions took place in Letná Park, where several "fanatics" gathered, who noticed this amazing sport on television.
The Prague Lions senior team is the first American football team to be established in the Czech Republic. Since its inception, the Lions seniors have been among the best that the Czech Republic has to offer. It is our most sophisticated group, as it utilizes the experiences gathered from previous categories. We strive to continue developing players here. That's why we also have the widest coaching base, including coaches from the USA. Our goal is not only sports success on the field but also off it. The recent triumph in the Czech Bowl 2021 is a driving force for us, motivating us to maintain the title in the coming years.
Currently playing in the 2nd CAAF League, season starts on April 7, 2024,

The Juniors Prague Lions have long been the most successful youth program in the Czech Republic, having won a total of nine titles since the founding of the junior league in 2001. Our junior team, like the other categories, maintains a high level of coaching, thanks in part to American coaches who are here throughout the year, as well as Czech coaches who are almost all connected with great coaches in America. Another no less important and unique aspect of our junior team is our own project, during which every year we select two to three players who, for their merits (connection of skills in football, exemplary behavior in the locker room, good grades at school, etc.) are sent to various world football camps. Be part of the tradition. Become a member of the LIONS FAMILY!

The Youth Prague Lions team serves as a bridge between the non-contact flag form and the classic contact form of American football. The youth team provides an opportunity for players to continue learning and developing their game, experiencing more and more of the true, contact form of American football. The youths receive the same high level of coaching as our junior and flag teams, which allows them to make the transition to what we call big football.

From the very beginning, the Prague Lions have maintained their youth programs as a priority. We continually strive to establish new age categories and introduce children to the beauty of American football at increasingly younger ages. The flag version of American football is non-contact, making it ideal for young boys and girls. Here, they learn the fundamentals of the game, hard work, and teamwork.
