Stadium of the Football Club Viktoria Žižkov

Our next stop will be the home stadium of one of the oldest football clubs in Bohemia, FK Viktoria Žižkov. We will not just learn about the history of football in Žižkov but also about the home stadium.

The history
The first football clubs in Prague´s Žižkov were founded around 1900. In 1903, a football club called Viktoria was established. The first team of „Viktorka“ was formed mainly by students from Žižkov. The players had together chosen their jerseys which were comprised of red and white colours. These colours have remained unchanged until today. In 1904 the official Sports Club Viktoria had risen from this club. The first success was celebrated two years later when Viktoria defeated the noted Prague premier club Sparta in one goal.

The Stadium:
The football club got its first stadium only in 1909. The stadium was located in Ohrada where the players were allowed to play until 1928 when the stadium had to compromise with the construction of new houses. Then the players trained mainly in various Prague stadiums until the Stadium FK Viktoria Žižkov in Seifertova street (Praze 3) became their home stadium.

The Stadium FK Viktoria Žižkov ranks among the smallest stadiums of the football league. There have been many reconstructions recently due to which it meets all necessary requirements. During the reconstruction all standing rooms were replaced by seats, which resulted in distinctive reduction of the stadium capacity. The next part of the reconstruction was performed in 2007, when a new East tribune was built which increased the stadium capacity in one thousand places.

The stadium FK Viktoria Žižkov is currently capable to take in about five thousand and six hundred sportsmen. They have an opportunity to watch and support their favourite football players on a playground with dimensions 105 x 68 metres.
