Soccer

Games for the domestic Czech league, the ePojisteni.cz liga, run from August to May with a break in December and January. The games and the fans tend to be somewhat lackluster. Tickets are plentiful enough on match days (except for tournaments). International matches are hosted at Sparta's stadium.

AC Sparta Praha. AC Sparta Praha have an enthusiastic fan base, with the stadium roar to match. Although they have seen their fortunes dip a little recently, the team remain a domestic Goliath and a stone-slinging David in European competition. Generali Arena, Milady Horákové 98, Letná, Prague, Praha. 296–111–400; www.sparta.cz.

Bohemians 1905. Bohemians 1905 are back in the top league after a few difficult years. Fans are highly enthusiastic. Doliček stadion, Vršovická 31, Vršovice, Prague, Praha. 245–005–014; www.bohemians.cz.

SK Slavia Praha. Sparta's success is much to the chagrin of their bitter rivals SK Slavia Praha, who now play in the modern Eden Arena. Eden Stadium, Vladivostocká 1460/10 , Vršovice, Prague, Praha. 731–126–104; www.slavia.cz.
