Bohemia and Moravia national football team
former men's national association football team representing Bohemia and Moravia
The Bohemia and Moravia football team was the selection of the best Bohemian and Moravian players representing this region of Austria-Hungary in men's Association football matches. It was established in 1903 and disbanded in 1911.

Created following the popularization of association football in Central Europe, the Bohemian-Moravian team played its first match in 1903 against Hungary. The Bohemian federation joined FIFA in 1906, and the national team increased its matches, notably against its Hungarian neighbor. The team also faced England in 1908. Rejected from FIFA, the team was a founding member of the UIAFA, a competing association of which it won the 1911 European Tournament, but did not participate in the 1908 and 1912 Olympic Games. The team completely disappeared due to World War I.
In 1919, the Czechoslovakia team succeeded the Bohemia and Moravia team. This notably reached a World Cup final in 1934. In 1939, Czechoslovakia was dissolved and divided into several states, including the Germany controlled of Protectorate of Bohemia-Moravia.

The linked authority identifier is Q203961. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1903, 1911, 1939 and 1906.
