Stadion Juliska is a multi-use stadium in Prague-Dejvice, Czech Republic. It is currently used mostly for football matches and is the home ground of FK Dukla Prague. Following Dukla's promotion to the Gambrinus liga in June 2011, the Czech Football Association indicated that a condition of the club's acceptance into the league would be that they install under-soil heating and 2,270 new seats, scheduled to be installed between 23 September and 28 October, 2011.[1] On 5 October 2011, it emerged that the club's new under-soil heating would not be ready in time for the Gambrinus liga match at home to Jablonec on 22 October, which meant switching the fixture to an alternative stadium in Prague.[2]
In 1997, Dukla Prague vacated the stadium after 49 years in Prague.[3]
On 29 July, 2011, Juliska hosted its first top flight football fixture since 1 June 1994, the opening fixture of the 2011–12 Gambrinus liga between FK Dukla Prague and SK Sigma Olomouc. The match finished 0–0.[4]
The stadium is also used for athletics events, including the annual Josef Odložil Memorial.[5] The stadium seats 4,560 people on individual seats, although the seated capacity would be much bigger if seated places on benches were counted.
