1902–1947: Development of football in the city The first registered football club in Mladá Boleslav and the official predecessor of FK Mladá Boleslav was Studentská XI. The club then transformed into S.K. Mladá Boleslav and then to Mladoboleslavský SK, officially founded in 1910. In 1905, a team called SK Aston Villa Mladá Boleslav, referring to the English club
Aston Villa F.C., was founded in Mladá Boleslav. In 1919, SK Aston Villa Mladá Boleslav has registered for league competitions, playing home games at the Astonka pitch near Havlíčkova Street. In the same year, the third club in the city – Slavoj Mladá Boleslav was founded. In 1934, new Astonka pitch was opened in Čechova Street. In 1942 and 1944 respectively, Mladoboleslavský SK and Aston Villa did not take their chances to make it to the
top Czechoslovak competition from the final stage of the qualification. The derby between the clubs in 1942 was watched by 8,000 spectators, which remains a record to this day. However, the old pitch, which is still called Astonka, still exists today and the youth teams of FK Mladá Boleslav play matches there. The club was promoted to the
Czech First League for the first time in its history in the
2003–04 season. In their
first top-flight season, the club fought against relegation, eventually finishing in the 14th place. The club's greatest success was achieved in the
2005–06 season, as they finished runners-up in the Czech First League, earning a place in the
qualifying rounds of the UEFA Champions League. The club thus fulfilled its ambitious plan in just four years. However, the club was eliminated after reaching the
group stage, taking just 3 points from 4 matches (
Panathinaikos 0–1,
Hapoel Tel Aviv 1–1,
Paris Saint-Germain 0–0,
Rapid București 1–1). The following season, the club
finished 3rd in the league. The club's
Luboš Pecka was the top goalscorer in the league that season. After the season, the coach
Dušan Uhrin, Jr. decided to leave the club after leading it since October 2004. The club qualified directly for the
first round of the UEFA Cup. Qualification for the
group stage was only narrowly secured by beating
Palermo 4–2 on penalties after a nail biting 1–1 aggregate scoreline. On the verge of being eliminated with the score reading 1–0 Palermo, (with their goal in the first leg still standing) in the 2nd leg,
Tomáš Sedláček scored the winner in the 2nd leg with only seconds to spare. In their group Mladá Boleslav defeated
IF Elfsborg 3–1, but again failed to reach the knockout stages of the competition after losing matches against
Villarreal 1–2,
AEK Athens 0–1 and
Fiorentina 1–2. The club subsequently achieved a 7th place league finish in the
2007–08 season, missing out on European cups. In 2018–2023, the club finished in the middle of the league table each time. In the
2023–24 season, the club finished in fifth place and, after a five-year break, made it to the European cups. After the season, David Trunda bought a majority stake (51 %) in the club and became its president, ending the 21-year era of Josef Dufek. The city of Mladá Boleslav owns 34 % of the shares. In
2024–25 UEFA Conference League, FK Mladá Boleslav advanced through three qualifying rounds to the
league phase of the competition.
