It is in the Letná stadium (18,887 seats), although aging but rich in history, that Stade Brestois will face Sparta Prague for its fourth Champions League match. Like Le Blé, this venue, located near the city center of Prague, allows its audience to be close to the players and the pitch. Even if Stade Brestois has still advised its supporters against “wearing distinctive signs” in the city or its outskirts, contrary to what one might imagine, the Prague public “is not hostile”.
“Brest supporters should have a good time”
“It’s a warm but nice atmosphere. Brest supporters should have a good time, assures Guillaume Narguet, journalist at Radio Prague International. It’s a demanding audience. When things don't work out as they should, it groans a little, it can hiss. But it's a pretty loyal crowd, the whole stadium supports their team. »
And like in Brest, the Sparta Prague is very often full. “We had a series of 40 sold-out matches in a row, which ended last Wednesday in the Cup when there were 100 tickets left to sell,” explains Daniel Peterka, Sparta Prague supporter representative. We are therefore starting a new series since Saturday's match against Baník Ostrava. Brest will be the second match. Hoping it lasts longer! » On Wednesday, in addition to the 18,000 Czechs, around 900 Brest supporters are also expected.
