Czech league football is on the rise, and in recent years it has enjoyed great attendance at stadiums as well. Both Prague “S” are faced with the capacity limit of their facilities, so they also deal with new possibilities and challenges. While Sparta has already presented its project for a larger audience, Slavia has remained silent so far. Now, however, it seems that the owner of the staples, Pavel Tykač, has ambitions to beat his city rival in this race as well.
The average attendance at Eden during the autumn was 18,311. It happened more than once that the capacity could not meet the demand, especially for Champions League matches. However, Eden’s average occupancy of 94.5 percent was a clear signal that even the Vršovice club should make plans for a bigger sanctuary.
The current facilities were created in 2008 and boast a capacity for less than 20,000 visitors. However, the increased interest in the matches in recent years gives wings to the owner, who revealed a bold plan in the podcast Where the Hare Runs.
Stitching does not necessarily have to be moved from Eden, it is also possible to add one extra ring, which would increase the capacity during normal operation. With this variant, the club would not have to move to an asylum for three years. Another option is the aforementioned relocation and relocation until a completely new, larger and more modern stadium is built on the existing site.

“I imagine the capacity to be around 40-45 thousand. I’d rather build a bigger stadium, which might not be completely full and at worst, sometimes one stand won’t open, than to build a stand for 30 thousand and in ten years be scratching our heads that the demand is getting bigger and the stadium is still not enough,” stated in the Tykač podcast, which leans towards the first option. However, the decision is not only up to Slavia, the approval of the city is also needed.
The implementation of the project itself will not be immediate and requires tuning and the necessary approvals. “I’d like it as soon as possible. If we’re chasing 2030, I’d be thrilled. I think we probably won’t make it, but I would really like to,” added Tykač, whose words certainly pissed off many fans of the sewn-up team.
