Czechoslovakia. Second division was still divided into Czech and Slovak leagues, the champions promoted. The Slovak League was won by ZVL Zilina.
Constantly moving up and down, now it was up again. Too strong for second level, too weak for the first.
The Czech league was a battle between three clubs far stronger than the other 13 teams.
Sklo Union Teplice once again failed to return to top flight – they ended 3rd with 43 points. Another former first division member finished 2nd with 44 points – Skoda Plzen. A point ahead of them was a club which never played first division football:
Sigma ZTS (Olomouc) clinched promotion with 45 points from 20 wins, 5 ties, and 5 losses. Their best season to date.
