He played for Czechoslovakia national team, from 1929 to 1937 - scoring six goals in 10 matches. He made his international debut on 28 October 1929 in a Friendly against Yugoslavia, and he only needed 2 minutes to leave his mark as he netted the opening goal in a 4-3 win. However, it took him 7 years to score another goal for his nation, but the wait was worth it as he scored not one, but four goals against Switzerland in a 1936–38 Central European Cup fixture. His last international goal was a late winner against Austria in 24 October 1937.[2]
