Our organization was founded in Bolton, England in 1990 as Ambassadors in Sport (AIS). From the beginning, AIS has aimed to be a Christian football ministry involving churches and Christian groups, serving all footballers.
The office in the Czech Republic is one of the oldest branches of Ambassadors in Sport. It began in the 1990s, when the first AIS leaders established contact with local Christians from Opočnice through 4 player tours. The AIS leaders who then returned to the Czech Republic in 1994 were: Dave Oakley (UK) – long-time director of the office in England, John Squires (NZ) – long-time head of the training program, Aaron Soby (USA) – later director of the office in the Czech Republic and Bill Galipaul (USA). The “football missionaries” worked here for 5 years, playing for local football clubs in Opočnice and Poděbrady, building relationships with local church congregations and trying to support them in football activities.
But the work was different in some ways due to the Czech environment. The original AIS leaders left in 1999 and no one continued the work in the Czech Republic.
The work was interrupted until 2003, when missionary Aaron Soby returned from the USA with his team of collaborators: Leah Wheeler, Bert and Marise Rinkel. In 2003, the AIS ČR branch was established in Písek and a year later it was officially registered as the civic association Ambassadors fko, later as the better-known Ambassadors os.
They worked in Písek, Milovice, Tachov and Břeclav, and gradually cooperation was established with congregations or individuals in Prague, Vsetín and Český Těšín. In 2005, the headquarters was moved to Prague.
Foreign managers purposefully handed over their work to local workers and gradually left the Czech Republic. In 2007, Ondřej Mazaný became the branch director.
El año 2014 significó un doble cambio para nosotros. A nivel mundial, nuestra organización recibió un nuevo nombre y, al mismo tiempo, la legislación checa sobre organizaciones sin fines de lucro cambió, convirtiéndonos en Embajadores del Fútbol de la República Checa, zs.
Los eventos organizados en la República Checa desde 2003 hasta 2017 incluyen campamentos de fútbol para niños, jóvenes y mujeres; giras de jugadores en Eslovaquia; organización de giras de jugadores de los EE. UU.; capacitación del servicio deportivo TREC; programa de pasantías; envío de voluntarios checos en giras de entrenamiento y pasantías en el extranjero (a los EE. UU., Sudáfrica, Reino Unido, Irlanda del Norte, Países Bajos); torneos locales, nacionales e internacionales; liga de fútbol cristiana, equipos durante todo el año para hombres, mujeres, jóvenes y niños; conferencias y otros.
En la actualidad, en el servicio en la República Checa participan tres líderes y unos 20 voluntarios, gracias a los cuales el servicio funciona en toda su extensión.
