Letná Stadium

Letná Stadium (known as epet Arena for sponsorship reasons) is the home stadium of Sparta Prague and the most frequent home venue for the Czech Republic's national team.

The ground has a capacity of 18,944. It is the third largest stadium in the Czech Republic behind Slavia Prague's Fortuna Arena (19,370) and the Stadion Evžena Rošického (19,032), which is often the venue for the Czech Cup Final.

Dating back to 1917, Letná Stadium has seen three major renovations since then in 1937, 1969, and again in 1994 when the running track was removed. In 2001 under-soil heating was installed and later in 2009 two video screens were added and the capacity lowered.

The stadium is located in a bend in the Vitava River between two large green, open spaces - Stromovka to the north and Letná Plain (Letenská pláň) and Letná Park (Letenské sady) to the south. This area has long been used for outdoor sports.

Fortuna Arena

The Fortuna Arena is the home stadium of Slavia Prague and an occasional home venue for the Czech Republic's national team.

The ground has a capacity of 19,370. It is thus the largest stadium in the Czech Republic ahead of the Stadion Evžena Rošického (19,032), which is often the venue for the Czech Cup Final and Letná Stadium (18,944), home of Sparta Prague. From 2010-2012 it also hosted Bohemians 1905 games as their own stadium, Dolicek, did not meet top-tier league and technical requirements at the time.

The history of the Fortuna Arena spans decades of transformation from an original concrete-and-wood terrace into the most modern football ground in the Czech Republic.

Slavia moved to the area after being forced to leave its previous home in the more central Letná district. The original Stadion Eden opened in September 1953 and could accommodate between 38,000 and 50,000 spectators, mainly on standing terraces. Its distinctive western stand was made of wood and had originally been dismantled from Slavia's previous stadium before being rebuilt at Eden.

Over the following decades, the stadium gradually fell into serious disrepair. By the late 1990s, the wooden stands were no longer suitable, and Slavia was forced to play its home matches at the Strahov athletics stadium while plans for a new arena were developed. The old Stadion Eden was eventually demolished between 2003 and 2004. After several financial delays, construction of a completely new stadium began in October 2006.

The new arena officially opened on May 7, 2008, with an exhibition match between Slavia Legends and Oxford University AFC. The choice of opponent was symbolic, as Oxford had been Slavia's first international opponent back in 1899. Just ten days later, Slavia played its first competitive match at the new stadium, drawing 2-2 with Jablonec. The result secured the Czech First League title, leading to huge celebrations in front of a sold-out crowd.

Since its opening, the stadium has become one of the Czech Republic's most important football venues. It has operated under several sponsored names, including Synot Tip Arena (2009-2012), Eden Arena (2012-2018), and Sinobo Stadium (2018-2022), before becoming Fortuna Arena in 2022. The stadium has also hosted major European matches, including the 2013 UEFA Super Cup, where Bayern Munich defeated Chelsea on penalties, and the 2023 UEFA Europa Conference League Final, in which West Ham United beat Fiorentina 2-1.

Dolicek Stadium in Praha. — Bohemians Praha 1905's Ďolíček Stadium

Ďolíček Stadium

Ďolíček Stadium is the home stadium of Bohemians Praha 1905 in the Vršovice district of Prague in the Czech Republic. The ground has a capacity of 6,300.

The stadium is gradually being rebuilt through fund raising from its fans with a completion date set for around 2029. The pitch size is the standard 105 x 68 meters, featuring a natural grass surface and floodlights.

The new stadium, inspired by Boca Juniors' iconic La Bombonera in Argentina, is expected to be completed around 2028 at an estimated cost of CZK 350 million. The project is being financed entirely by the club and its supporters through a crowdfunding campaign. Construction is being carried out in several small phases, allowing Bohemians to continue playing their home matches at the stadium throughout the redevelopment, thus avoiding a move.

Once completed, the renovated stadium is expected to have a capacity of more than 8,500 spectators, with all seats covered.

Stadion Juliska

The Stadion Juliska (8,150 capacity) is the home stadium of Dukla Prague in the Dejvice district of the Czech capital.

The history of the Stadion Juliska begins with its completion in 1960. There were then renovations to the ground in 2001 (when the running track was added) and again a decade later in 2011.

The original Dukla left the ground in 1997 after 49 years in the capital. After the 'Velvet Divorce' and creation of the Czech Republic in 1993, the club merged with second division side FC Portál Příbram in 1996.

The new club, which later became known as 1. FK Příbram, played a single season in Prague at Juliska before moving to Příbram in 1997, the last home match at Juliska was a 2-2 draw with relegated Baník Havířov in June 1997.

The new Dukla Prague began when Dukla Dejvice, a Prague-based football club founded in 1959, adopted the traditional yellow and red colours of Dukla Prague and began playing at Juliska.

The club joined the Prague Championship in 2001. In November 2006, the management of Dukla Prague announced an agreement to acquire the second-division rights of Jakubčovice.

This move paved the way for the new Dukla's return to the Czech top flight in 2011.
