The club was founded under the name PAL Jihlava in 1948.[1] After the Czech Republic became independent in 1993, the club played in the third-tier Bohemian Football League until promotion in 2000 to the Czech 2. Liga. The club went on to take part in the second division for five years, reaching the semi-finals of the Czech Cup in 2003–04 and winning promotion to the top flight after finishing second in the 2004–05 Czech 2. Liga.[2] Jihlava played in the top flight for the first time in their history in 2005–06,[1] being relegated back to the second league on the last day of the season, after a loss at home against Slavia Prague.[3] Following another spell in the second league, this time of six years, the club won back a place in the top flight having finished second in the 2011–12 Czech 2. Liga.[4]
