The publication focuses on the history of the Modřany Sports Club (SK Modřany) within the context of the development of the local community and Czech football. It focuses on the club's role in shaping local identity and social bonds. Special attention is paid to the topography of the sports venues and their relationship to the urban development of the locality. The pitches of SK Modřany are understood as significant sites of collective memory and community life. The book also traces the transformations of the club's visual identity within broader cultural and historical contexts, analyzing the evolution of club colors, emblems, and jerseys as tools of symbolic representation. Methodologically, the book is based on the critical examination and interpretation of fragmentary archival sources and photographic material as a specific type of information. The publication demonstrates that the history of a local sports club can serve as an effective tool for studying broader social processes, particularly the transformations of community ties, urban space, and visual culture.
