Sparta was the most successful team in the
Czechoslovak Championship with 23 titles between 1948 and 1987, and in 1976 it defeated
Clermont UC in the
European Cup's final to become the first Czechoslovak team to win the competition, ending the 12-years winning streak of
Daugava Riga, which had defeated Sparta in its previous five appearances in the final. Sparta reached the final for the last time in 1978, losing to
Geas Basket.[1] The club declined following the
dissolution of Czechoslovakia, and currently plays in the second tier.[2]
