1. SC Vítkovice (currently known as 1. SC NATIOS Vítkovice for sponsorship reasons) is a floorball club based in the Vítkovice district of Ostrava, Czech Republic. The team was founded in 1992, it is thus one of the oldest floorball clubs in the Czech Republic.

The men's team is one of four clubs to have played continuously in the top-tier competition, Superliga florbalu, since its inception in 1993. Until the 2015–16 season, it was the only team capable of breaking the dominance of the previously unrivaled Prague club, Tatran Střešovice, winning championships in the 1995–96, 1996–97, 1999–2000, 2008–09, 2012–13, and 2013–14 seasons. The team also secured the title in the 2018–19 season. In 2010, they became the first Czech club to finish as runners-up in the Champions Cup.

The women's team plays in the Extraliga žen and is the only club to have competed continuously since the league's inception in 1994. The team won the championship in the 1999–00, 2013–14, 2015–16, 2017–18, 2018–19, 2020–21, 2022–23, 2023–24, and 2024–25 seasons. With their ninth title, Vítkovice surpassed Tigers Jižní Město to become the most successful team in the league.[1] In 2014, 2019, and 2026, they finished as runners-up in the Champions Cup, marking the best historical result for a Czech women's team.

Alongside Florbal Chodov and Tatran Střešovice, the club is one of only three to have won championship titles in both the men's and women's top-tier competitions. Furthermore, it is the only club to have secured both titles during the same playoff season, a feat it has achieved on three occasions (1999–00, 2013–14, and 2018–19).[2]
