VK Dukla Liberec (Volejbalový Klub Dukla Liberec) is a Czech volleyball club based in Liberec.
History
The club was born in 1948 in Prague, and in its history changed its headquarters several times: in 1957 it moved from the Czechoslovak capital to the town of Kolín, in 1966 to Jihlava, and finally in 1969 settled permanently in Liberec.
