On the Spartan website, it is written: “For a long time, the Czech top league has not experienced a more numerous outing.” Fans of the Leten club, dressed in red, will fill the trains on Sunday and head to Olomouc for the last match of the regular season, which the reigning Czech champion will surely dominate for the second time in a row.
Over four and a half thousand supporters of the visiting team should arrive in Hanau. “We appreciate it a lot. We are really happy that such a mass will travel almost three hundred kilometers to follow the team. We realize how lucky it is,” said Ondřej Kasík, director of Spartan communications.

Who will win the title in FORTUNA:LIZE?
Sigma opened the north tribune, which is nicknamed the “shell” based on its shape, to the fans of the Prague club after an agreement with the home supporters. It is not for the first time. This season, Baník’s exit climbed onto the iconic structure, Letenští took it a year ago, when the team around captain Ladislav Krejčí won 1:0 in the first round of the superstructure.
Coach Brian Priske’s players did not shine in the game, they decided with a single goal by Martin Minčev. And they also helped… “I have to mention the fans who supported us brilliantly in Olomouc. They don’t have it near here, they got on the train and arrived. The rest of the season will be about all of us together and the fans can play a key role,” mentioned the Danish coach at the time, who celebrated the league title with the team in the next four matches.
In cases from the past, the northern stand in Olomouc was always enough for the guests, while it was not filled to capacity. This time, however, the tickets quickly disappeared. Therefore, after communicating with the police, the management of Olomouc also provided the opponent with a traditional guest sector with a capacity of 650 spectators.
The pace of ticket sales slowed down in the second wave, but at this moment all the seats are red and Olomouc will be attacked by a record attendance at the Sigma Stadium during Sunday’s match. At the same time, the Spartans occupy almost thirty-seven percent of its total capacity of 12,451 people. “The last two hundred and fifty tickets remain,” said Jiří Fišara, Sigma’s press spokesman. “It was obvious that the interest in this match would be huge,” he added.
The northern tribune in Olomouc colors will change into the Spartan tricolor on Sunday. Every fan buys a red, yellow or blue shirt before entering the stadium. So over four thousand will be available.
“This is an extraordinary feat,” noted Kasík. “As a club and a team, we feel very strongly that the atmosphere in our fan village is extraordinary.” Which was not the rule in previous years.
In this league season, Sparta is slightly ahead of Slavia in terms of average home stadium usage with 92.69 percent. The value is higher by almost seven percent during the away matches of the Leto team.
