 Founder and captain Nonner attended the inaugural meeting of the DFB to represent the team.Early in its history the club played in the Verband der Deutschen Prager Fussballvereine (Federation of German Football Teams in Prague) and captured the league title in 1902.The next season, in one of a series of quirks of history that eventually led "DFC Prag" to the first-ever German national final, that club was selected as the league's representative in the German championship round despite being tied with "Germania" and a third club in the still incomplete VDPF championship.
