Overview
editWith the 1992 decision at Villa Tugendhat to enact the Dissolution of Czechoslovakia into two independent states, the 1992–93 season of the Czechoslovak First League spanned the end of Czechoslovakia and the beginning of the successor states.[2]: 461 The league was contested by 16 teams, and Sparta Prague won the championship, finishing five points ahead of second-placed Slavia Prague. Czechoslovakia received one of the slots of UN banned Yugoslavia for the UEFA Cup. Brno was invited as the Czech club to the Cup Winners Cup because the Czechoslovak Cup was won by a Slovak side, 1. FC Košice, and the losing finalists were Sparta Prague.
Although Slovak clubs were guaranteed a place in the following season's inaugural Slovak League, any Czech teams finishing the bottom two league positions would have to play a two-legged play-off with a team from the Czech second tier, with the top six of that league being automatically promoted. Dukla Prague, who used a league-high 38 players during the season, as well as Bohemians Prague each secured 19 points. As the teams were split by goal average rather than goal difference, Dukla were safe from relegation with a 14th-place finish and Bohemians finished 15th to go to a play-off. They faced seventh-placed Second League side FK Jablonec, drawing 1–1 away but winning 2–0 at home to confirm their top-flight status for the following season.[2]: 464
