Sparta’s Offer for New Stadium at Evžen Rošického Stadium Under Consideration by FAČR Executive Committee

“The offer from Sparta meets all the conditions and requirements that were listed and requested. The details of this offer will be presented to the executive committee at its next regular meeting, which will decide on the next course of action,” said Fousek on the FAČR website.

The so-called opening of the envelopes took place on Tuesday, April 9. FAČR wants to ensure the sports use of the area and at the same time to have a regular financial income from it in the future. According to behind-the-scenes information, the Letenský club offers to build a stadium for 35,000 spectators, which could be used by the Czech national team and Sparta. It should be completed by 2035 at the latest.

Evžen Rošického Stadium is in a state of disrepair. As recently as 2022, the Czech national team and other teams trained on it, but it has not been used since last year. The costs in the order of millions of crowns per year for its maintenance are covered by FAČR.

In February, the association launched a competition following the June decision of the general meeting, which agreed on the sports use of the Strahov area in the form of the construction of a training center or stadium.

“Negotiations with Sparta, which were ongoing, were part of the resolution. The form of public competition was chosen because it is an important asset of the FAČR, and the association wanted to establish precise, transparent and economic barriers in which the competition operates from a legal and economic point of view,” said Fousek.
