Prague Football Clubs: The Complete Guide inc. Tickets & Prices for 2026
Prague Football Clubs: The Complete Guide including ticket prices for 2026, tips for buying tickets, football clubs history and how to get to each club stadium.
Prague has several football clubs, including the legendary Sparta Prague, one of the most successful clubs in the country and more local clubs like FK Victoria Zizkov or FC Slavoj Vysehrad.
I’ve recently been to a game at the Bohemians stadium and it was a great experience – happy cheering people enjoying the game without any major confrontation. It was also easy to get to the stadium from the centre of Prague by tram.
At that football match, I chose to support Bohemians 1905, since they were my local team when I lived in Strasnice, Prague 10, as a child and I thought they were cool because they were also called the ‘kangaroos’ as the team mascot is a kangaroo and they also had their own sweets!
In this blog post, I wanted to take a closer look at the football clubs of Prague, their history, their achievements and what makes them so special.
I’ve also included my tips for buying tickets if you fancy watching a game when you are in Prague.

Prague Premier Football Clubs
Prague has six football teams, with three of them currently playing in the Premier League. The most successful of these teams is Sparta, which has a fierce rivalry with Slavia. The other teams are FK Dukla Praha, Bohemians 1905, FK Victoria Zizkov, and FC Slavoj Vysehrad.
I think, it’s also worth mentioning that Sparta, Slavia, and Bohemians 1905 all play in the Premier League at the moment.
While the Czech Republic National Football Team has an successful history, recent results have been disappointing. The team was once among the top national teams in the world, but they have failed to qualify for several major international competitions in recent years. This is largely due to the fact that the majority of players on the team play for teams abroad, with only a handful of home-based players on the squad.
Tips on buying tickets for football games in Prague
These days it’s super easy to buy a ticket for a football game in Prague as most tickets can be found through the main ticket-selling portal ‘Tickeportal’ or individual club websites (see my notes above).
When you are selecting your ticket, make sure that you choose it in the section that is for the fans of the team you support. The home team usually has a large section of the stadium seats available and the away team is in the section called ‘Hoste’ (guests).
If you are visiting Prague with children, then Slavia stadium has a special area for parents and children only, which has games, a toy room and you can also practise your football skills.
If you prefer a smaller crowd and a more laid-back atmosphere then smaller clubs, such as Victoria Zizkov or Bohemians are a great choice.
AFC Sparta Prague Football Club
AC Sparta Prague is a professional football club founded in 1893 and is one of the oldest football clubs in the country. The club has a rich history and has won the Czech First League title a record 37 times, most recently last season; their first title since the 2013-14 season.
Recent famous players who have played for the club include Tomáš Rosický, Petr Čech, Pavel Nedvěd, and Karel Poborský. The club’s stadium, Generali Arena, has a capacity of 19,416 spectators and is located in the Letná district of Prague.
Sparta Prague has a large and passionate fan base and is known for its intense rivalries with city rivals Slavia Prague and Bohemians 1905. The club has a strong tradition of producing young talent and has a successful youth academy. The club has also had financial struggles in the past but has been saved by its fans on multiple occasions. Today, the club is financially stable and competes in the Czech First League (Fortuna: Liga).
You can also take a guided tour around the Sparta Stadium. The tour is run every week and costs 300 CZK.
I also found out that in 2017, Sparta boiled sweets were re-introduced back again after 40 years. There are two different types of sweets, made with cherry and lemon flavour filling based on the club colours – red and yellow. The sweets made quite a stir when the factory started to make them. Apparently, one of the shift managers asked to be moved to a different part of the production line as she didn’t support the Sparta football team!
Location: AC Sparta Prague stadium (Generali Arena), Milady Horákové 1066/98, 170 00 Prague 7-Bubeneč. The nearest tram stop is “Sparta”, trams 1, 8, 12, 25, and 26 from Malostranska Underground station (close to Prague Castle)
Tickets: 370-850 CZK depending on how in advance you purchase them and where you choose to sit. You can buy tickets via the club’s official website – www.sparta.cz
SK Slavia Prague Football Club
SK Slavia Praha is also one of the oldest football clubs, founded originally in 1892. The club has won the Czech First League title a record 20 times, most recently in the 2018-19 season.
The club is so popular that it has its own sweets called ‘Slavia’ although these are not officially licenced by the club (or made for the club). Slavia sweets production originally began in 1965. These are boiled sweets with soft cocoa filling in hard mint shell and they are so morish! I have to say, I prefer them to the ‘Klokanky’ sweets!
The club’s most famous player of all time is perhaps forward Josef “Pepi” Bican, one of the most prolific goalscorers in the history of football. Other famous players who have played for the club include Karel Poborský, Vladimír Šmicer, and Patrik Berger.
Many Sparta and Slavia players have gone on to play for top clubs in Europe including the English Premier League. Slavia’s colours are red and white and their shirts have a distinctive five-pointed red star on the left side.
The new club’s stadium, Sinobo Stadium, has a capacity of 19,370 spectators and is located in the Vršovice district of Prague 10. Part of the stadium is also a new football museum, which gives a fascinating insight into Czech football.
The museum is open at the weekends, all year round from 10 am – 6 pm and the adult ticket is 200 CZK (concessions are available). You can also purchase a separate tour of the stadium, which is usually done during the ‘non’ play days during the weekend.
Location: Sinobo Stadium, U Slavie 1540/2a, 100 00 Praha 10-Vršovice. The nearest tram stop is “Slavia”, trams number 6, 7, 19, 22, and night trams 95, 97, and 99.
Tickets: 250 CZK (student ticket) – 990 CZK – cost depends on where you sit in the stadium. There is a special area for parents with children with extra games for children and a playroom. Tickets via club’s own website: www.slavia.cz
Bohemians 1905 Football Club
Bohemians football club was founded in 1905 and they won the Czechoslovak First League title in 1983 and the Czech Cup in 2010.
The club’s most famous player is Antonín Panenka, who is now the club chairman. Panenka is best known for his famous penalty kick at the 1976 European Championship final, which has since been named after him. The decisive penalty was in the dramatic shoot-out and won the game and the title for the Czechs and was a cheeky chip over the German goalkeeper (no mean feat when you consider the goalkeeper was standing on his line and a miss would have kept the German side in the game).
There is a lovely story about how the club got its unofficial name ‘Klokani’ the kangaroos.
In 1927, an offer came from Australia for a Czech football team to go on the tour. Officials from Slavia and Viktoria Žižkov, which were more prestigious clubs than ‘Bohemians’, did not believe it would happen and gave up the trip in favour of AFK Vršovice which was the original name of the club at the time.
Before departure, the Vršovice footballers were looking for a suitable name, as AFK Vršovice would be unpronounceable for Australians. In the end, the name Bohemians – Czechs was chosen, which would remind everyone of the country where the green and white players came from.
On April 6, 1927, the expedition under the name Bohemians set off on a famous trip to Australia, which gave the Vršovice team a new name (AFK Bohemians) and a kangaroo in their emblem.
The ‘Klokanky’ sweets are not directly associated with the football club, but they have their club symbol and were originally introduced in 1967. They have an eucalyptus flavour and are not as sweet as the Slavia sweets.
- Location: Vršovická 31, 101 00 Praha 10-Vršovice. The nearest tram stop is “Bohemians”, trams no 6, 7, and 24.
- Tickets: Tickets for individual games are 200 or 300 CZK depending on whether you want to sit under cover or on the side. You can purchase tickets for any game through Tickeportal and all matches are listed on the club’s own website www.bohemians.cz
FK Victoria Zizkov
FK Viktoria Žižkov was founded in 1903 and played in the Czech First League on several occasions, including a third-place finish in the 1993-94 season.
The club’s stadium, FK Viktoria Žižkov Stadium, has a capacity of 5,000 spectators and is located in the Žižkov district of Prague 3. It has a welcoming atmosphere, partly because it’s much smaller than the other two major football teams – Sparta and Slavia.
Famous Czech film actor, Vlasta Burian, played in goal for the club before starting his acting career and there’s a plaque commemorating his time with the club in the stadium.
Location: Seifertova 1213/44, 130 00 Praha 3-Žižkov. The nearest tram stop is “Victoria Zizkov”, trams number 5, 9, and 26 which is just one stop from the Main Train Station and within walking distance from the train station via the new passage corridor to Zizkov.
Tickets: 120 – 150 CZK depending on where you want to sit or stand at the stadium. All matches and tickets can be found via the club’s own website www.fkvz.cz
FK Dukla Praha
FK Dukla Prague was founded in 1948 as ATK Praha and later became known as Dukla Prague. Dukla Praha has won the Czechoslovak First League title a total of 11 times, most recently in 1982 and was recently promoted to the Premier League but got relegated again in the 2018-2019 season.
The club’s most famous player is perhaps midfielder Josef Masopust, who played for the club in the 1950s and 1960s and was part of the Czechoslovakia national team that finished as runners-up in the 1962 World Cup. Other famous players who have played for the club include Ivo Viktor, Ladislav Novák, and Ján Popluhár.
The club is based in the Dejvice area of Prague 6 and the club’s stadium, Stadion Juliska, originally built in 1960, has a capacity of 8,150 visitors. The club was name-checked by cult indie band Half Man Half Biscuit in the song ‘All I Want for Christmas is a Dukla Prague Away Shirt’.
Location: Stadion Juliska, U Juliského pivovaru 520/8, 160 00 Praha 6-Dejvice. The best public transport connection is bus number 131 to the Dukla – Juliska stop.

The club has produced several notable players, including Jan Košek, who was the most prominent football personality at the beginning of the last century for Slavia and Czech football in general. Other notable players include Ondřej Švejdík, who played for the club in the early 2000s and later went on to play for the Czech Republic national team.

FK Zlichov 1914
FK Zlichov is one of the smaller football teams with a long history and a picturesque football stadium that even made it into a film!
This club is based in Zlichov – Prague 5 and was founded in 1914, when the football stadium was closer to the Vltava river. When the decision was made to build a dual carriageway along the river, the stadium was in the way and was closed down. Later on, the local people of Zlichov gave the club a plot of land where the current stadium is – close to the train track and the beautiful countryside of Prokopske Valley.
From 1948 to 1990 the club was taken in by another club CS Film Praha, which is interesting, considering that the club stadium became the main setting for a Czech film ‘What men desire most’ in 2022.
In the 1960s and 1970s, the club played in the Prague Division of the Czechoslovak Third League. The club’s most successful period was in the 1980s and 1990s when they played in the Czechoslovak Second League and the Czech Republic Second League. Today, the club competes in the Prague Championship, which is the fifth tier of Czech football league.
Location: Ke Hrbitovu 58/5, Prague 5, trams 4,5,12,20 from Andel Underground Station, Malostranska (close to the Prague Castle) or Narodni Trida (close to the Old Town Square) to the tram stop Zlichov and then 5-10 min walk.
