The Czech Football Association (Českomoravský fotbalový svaz) traces its founding to 1901, making this issue a centennial commemoration. Czech football's early decades were dominated by clubs from Bohemia competing under Austro-Hungarian administration, and the national body predates the Czechoslovak state itself by nearly two decades. The 2001 issue falls squarely within the Czech Republic's post-Velvet Divorce numismatic program, which used commemorative silver korun to mark cultural and institutional anniversaries with some regularity.
Mintage for Czech commemorative silver of this period was typically capped low, often under 20,000 pieces across proof and brilliant uncirculated formats combined.
