Fotbalový stadion Josefa Masopusta, Football stadium in Most, Czech Republic
The Fotbalový stadion Josefa Masopusta in Most has 7,500 all-seated places, with a grass pitch, floodlights and undersoil heating installed during the 2004–2006 rebuild. The outline of a former athletics track remains visible in the shape of the stands.
The stadium opened on 24 May 1961 with a friendly match against Liverpool (1:4), watched by 11,500 spectators. In 2004–2006 the Italian gas company SIAD, then owner of the club, financed a reconstruction that installed seats, a scoreboard, floodlights and a heated pitch, cutting capacity from 20,000 to 7,500 all-seated places. It was renamed after Josef Masopust on 10 May 2009.
The stadium is named after Josef Masopust, a legendary Czech football player, and serves as home to the local team FK Baník Most-Souš. Supporters gather here regularly to watch their team play and form a central part of match day life in the city.
Access to the stadium is straightforward and basic amenities are available for spectators on match days. It makes sense to arrive early to secure parking and find your seat before kickoff.
The stadium was named after Josef Masopust on 10 May 2009, before a second-division match against Dukla Praha. Masopust spent his youth years in Most, though he later recalled playing on a cinder pitch with a small stand near the railway station.
