Slavia played at the old Eden stadium from 1953 until it was closed in the early 2000s. The new stadium was built on the same site and opened in May 2008 with a match against Oxford University.

It has carried several sponsor names — Synot Tip Arena, Eden Arena, Sinobo Stadium and Fortuna Arena — but Prague fans simply call it Eden.

Because it's the most modern big stadium in Prague, it's also used by the Czech national team and for European finals.
