Lokotrans Aréna

About Lokotrans Aréna

If you're planning to catch a match in the historic town of Mladá Boleslav, about an hour northeast of Prague, you'll find yourself at Lokotrans Aréna, the intimate home of FK Mladá Boleslav. This cozy 5,000-seat stadium offers the kind of authentic Czech football experience that larger venues simply can't match. You'll be close enough to the action to hear the players shouting and feel the genuine passion of local supporters who've been coming here since the ground first opened its gates back in 1965. The stadium earned its place in Czech sporting history by hosting events during that year's Spartakiad, the massive gymnastics displays that were a hallmark of the communist era.

Don't let the corporate name fool you. The arena was rechristened Lokotrans Aréna in 2019 for sponsorship purposes, but locals still remember it fondly as Městský stadion, or the Town Stadium. What makes a visit here special is the genuine small-town football atmosphere where you can mingle with devoted fans in the stands and experience Czech football culture away from the tourist crowds of Prague. The compact size means there's not a bad seat in the house, and you'll leave with a real sense of having witnessed community sport at its finest.
