The stadium seats 19,370 people and is the largest and most modern football stadium in the Czech Republic. It is the home venue of Prague's Slavia and sometimes the Czech national football team. In the 2010/11 and 2011/12 seasons, it was also the venue for the 1905 Czechs' home games. In the 2011/12 season, the stadium hosted home games for FC Victoria Plzen in the group stage of the Champions League. The stadium was used for the 2013 UEFA Super Cup. In the early 1950s, Slavia was forced to leave its stadium in Letna, and a new stadium was built in Eden in the Vrshovice area. It had a capacity of about 50,000 people (mostly for standing). The wooden western (main) grandstand was taken from the old stadium in Letn, the rest of the stands were made of concrete. There was also an athletics track at the stadium. The first match at this stadium took place on September 27, 1953, Slavia drew 1-1 against the team Olomouc authorities. Joseph Bikan scored the goal of the hosts. Moving In the 1970s, it became apparent that Eden did not provide sufficient comfort for visitors and began to plan to build a new one in the same place. However, under the communist regime, planning was rather slow. Several projects have been completed and construction has finally begun in 1990. In 1989 Slavia temporarily moved to the nearby stadium Ďolíček (the home of Bohemia Prague, now known as Bohemia 1905) and the east stand was demolished. However, the overthrow of the communist regime in 1989 delayed construction. Meanwhile, Slavia moved to the Stadium of Evshen Rozhichejo, a stadium on the hill of Strakhov, which is large, but uncomfortable and poorly accessible. In the early 1990s, all construction was cancelled and Slavia returned to Eden. A temporary stand was built on the site of the former east stand, but it was clear that Eden was out of date and Slavia needed a new home playground. Several more projects were done, but Slavia was unable to raise enough funds, and there were some legal problems, as the premises belonged to the state, and it took a lot of effort to transfer them to Slavia. In 2000, the stadium was not allowed to host the matches of the first league of the Czech Republic, so Slavia again moved to the unpopular Strakhov. Slavia's new stadium has finally unveiled a new stadium project, but construction has not begun. In December 2003, the old Eden Stadium was demolished and Slavia announced that the new stadium would open on 19 October 2005, but construction had not even begun by October 2005. It took another year. The project had to be reduced to reduce the cost of construction from 1.8 billion Czech crowns to less than 1 billion. Despite the fact that the stadium was not fully completed, it was opened on May 7, 2008 with an exhibition match against Oxford University. Many former Slavia stars (such as Pavel Kuka, Patrick Berger, Jan Sukhoparek and Ivo Knoflek) took part in this match, which Slavia won 5-0. The first competitive match at the new stadium was played on May 17, 2008 against Jablonc, the match ended with a score of 2-2, Slavia secured the title of the first league of the Czech Republic in the final match of the 2007/08 season. In 2016, CEFC China Energy, which had previously acquired a controlling stake in SK Slavia Prague, tried to buy a 70% stake in the stadium and announced plans to invest about 50 million euros (including the purchase price) to improve the stadium's capacity and turn it into the main national stadium for the Czech national team. In April 2017, it was announced that the details of the deal had changed and CEFC China Energy had acquired the stadium in full. The stadium was renamed The Sinobo Stadium. Sponsorship In July 2008, it was announced that Synot Tip has entered into an agreement with E Side Property Limited, the owners of the stadium, regarding a sponsorship deal for one of the stands. In 2009, the name of the stadium was officially changed to Synot Tip Arena. In 2011, the Natland Group was announced as the new majority owner of the stadium. In 2012, it was announced that Synot would not renew stadium sponsorship after the end of the 2011/12 season. The Eden Arena internationals have hosted eight competitive matches and four friendly matches of the Czech National Football Team. 27 May 2008 Czech Republic 2 - 0 Lithuania Koller 39', 62' (Report) International Friendly Notice: 14,220Referi: Vladimir Hricek (Slovakia) 14 October 2009 Czech Republic 0 - 0 Northern Ireland (Report) 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification (UEFA)Attendance: 8.002Referi: Laurent Duamel (France) October 8, 2010 Czech Republic 8 1 - 0 Huri 70' (Report) Euro 2012 qualifier: 14,922Referi: Ivan Bekek (Croatia) 6 September 2013 Czech Republic 1 - 2 Armenia Rosicky 70' (Report) Mkrtchyan 31'Ghazaryan 90' 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifier (UEFA) Attendance: 17,628Ref Reporter: Anthony Gentie (France) 5 March 2014 Czech Republic 2 - 2 Norway Rosicky 11'Vydra 39' (Report) Elyounoussi 21'Pedersen 88' International FriendlyDecesment: 17,039Referi: Cagniet Chakir (Turkey) March 28, 2015 Czech Republic 1 - 1 Latvia Pilach 90' (Report) Vishakov 30' Euro 2016 qualifying Tuesday: 13,722Referia: Javier Estrada Fernandez (Spain) 5 June 2016 Czech Republic 1 - 2 South Korean Marek Soce 46' (Report) Yoon Bit-garam 26' Suk Hyun Chung 40' International : 16,490Referee: Daniel Stefanski (Poland) 11 November 2016 Czech Republic 2 - 1 Norway Krmen'k 11'mrhal 47' (Report) King 87' 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier (UEFA)Attendance: 16,411Referi: Bass Nijhuis (Netherlands) 1 September 2017 Czech Republic 1 - 2 Germany Darida 78' (Report) Werner 4'Hummels 88' 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier (UEFA)Attendance: 18,093Referi: Sergey Karasev (Russia) November 19, 2018 Czech Republic 1 - 0 Slovakia Shik 32' (Russia) Report) 2018-19 UEFA Nations League BAttendance : 16,623Referi: Alejandro Hernandez Hernandez (Spain) March 26, 2019 Czech Republic 1 - 3 Brazil Pavelka 37' (Report) Firmino 49'Gabriel Jesus 83', 90' International FriendlySource: 19.11 6Refery: Ovidiu Hațegan (Romania) October 11, 2019 Czech Republic 2 - 1 England Brabek 9'Ondrchek 85' (Report) Kane 5' (pen.)
