At Soccer Trippers, we’ve explored the world’s greatest stadiums, matchday cultures, and fan traditions. This guide combines expert insights and local knowledge to help you plan the perfect football trip to Prague.

Why Prague is a Top Destination for Football Fans

Prague is a city split by a river — and by rivalry. Slavia Prague and Sparta Prague are two of Central Europe’s most iconic clubs, and their derby clashes are electric. But it’s not just about the big games: Prague’s football culture is authentic, welcoming, and deeply tied to the neighborhoods.

Expect flares, chants, and classic stadiums with standing terraces. And when the final whistle blows, you’re minutes away from world-class beer halls, Gothic landmarks, and a city that knows how to celebrate.

Insider Tip: Prague fans love tradition. Visit the club stores for retro jerseys and ask locals for their favorite chants — they’ll likely sing them with you.
