The team made history when it played in the first official football match historically recorded in Bohemia (1893).

This was still considered a great success for the Lautschin players and the Vienna newspapers Wiener Sportzeitung did not hesitate to conclude that the team from Lautschin was the second best team after Regatta in the Empire.
