In 1915, immigrant Czechs living in Chicago, Illinois, formed a social sports organization which they named the Sparta Athletic and Benevolent Association.
These proved to be exceptional players and they quickly brought Sparta to the top of the city’s soccer hierarchy.
In 1969, Sparta tied for the Peel Cup title with Chicago Kickers, never to win a national or state competition after that year.
When large crowds were expected, events were scheduled to take place at venues such as Comiskey Park or Soldier Field.
On May 6, 1927 Sparta played Hakoah Vienna to a 2-2 draw in front of 12,000 fans at Comiskey Park.
