Fortuna Arena, Football stadium in Vršovice, Czech Republic
The Fortuna Arena is a football stadium on Vladivostocká and U Slavie streets in Prague-Vršovice, with 19,370 seats. Four roofed stands enclose the green pitch; the seating is mostly red, with a grey block on the right and a lower-tier section marked in white. A sign reading FORTUNA ARENA stands above the central upper stand.
The old stadium structure from the 1950s was demolished in 2006 to make room for a modern venue that opened in May 2008. The new facility replaced the wooden and concrete terraces with a contemporary construction featuring an enclosed roof.
The grounds carry the nickname Eden, still used by fans in everyday conversation and recalling the old stadium name from before the changing sponsors arrived. On match days, supporters in red and white colors stream through Vršovice, turning the streets into a sea of jerseys and chants.
Getting there works best using the tram or commuter rail to the Eden stop, which sits directly beside the stadium. On match days, arriving early helps because the surrounding streets become busy before kickoff and entrances fill up quickly.
The stadium hosted the 2013 UEFA Super Cup and has staged 20 competitive and 4 friendly matches of the Czech national team. Its naming rights changed repeatedly: Synot Tip Arena from 2009, Eden Arena after 2012, Sinobo Stadium in 2018, and Fortuna Arena from July 2022.
