About this venue
FINEP Arena is a modern football stadium and the distinctive home ground of FC Hradec Králové. Its capacity of approximately 9,300 spectators is arranged across fully covered seated stands surrounding the pitch, providing clear views from almost every section. Contemporary architecture is connected with the identity of the former stadium through the preserved signature floodlight structures, widely recognised for their lollipop-like shape.
The short distance between the stands and the pitch creates an intense match atmosphere, while the enclosed stadium design helps retain the sound of the crowd inside the arena. Visitors benefit from modern seating, food and beverage outlets, as well as VIP and business facilities. Although primarily designed for football matches, the venue can also accommodate other sporting, cultural and corporate events.
The stadium is located at Malšovická 821/1, Hradec Králové, Czech Republic. The Koupaliště Flošna public transport stop is directly in front of the arena, leaving only a short walk to the entrances. Parking areas are available around the stadium, although access arrangements may vary depending on the event. Further information about travelling from other parts of the city and the wider transport network can be found in the Hradec Králové description below.
About the city: Hradec
Hradec Králové, an elegant city in the heart of eastern Czechia, stands out as an attractive destination for sports spectacles and concerts as well as a wide range of urban events. Thanks to the blend of historic charm and a modern city vibe, visitors can easily combine a night out with a comfortable stay in a place known for good organization and a relaxed atmosphere.
A major advantage is its practical connectivity: the public transport operator Dopravní podnik města Hradce Králové (DPMHK) runs a network of MHD routes (buses and trolleybuses) that make it easy to reach key districts, sports complexes, and event halls. If you arrive by rail, Hradec Králové hlavní nádraží is the main gateway, and from the station area you can quickly continue by public transport or taxi. For air travel, Letiště Hradec Králové is nearby, while for a wider range of connections visitors often use Letiště Pardubice (PED) and Václav Havel Airport Prague (PRG), with straightforward onward travel by road or rail.
Before or after the event, it is worth strolling through the historic center around Velké náměstí, climbing Bílá věž for panoramic views, or pausing by the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit that anchors the skyline. For a calmer contrast, riverside paths and parks along the Labe and Orlice rivers are a highlight, especially at their confluence, where the city’s energy naturally slows into an easy pace that is perfect for a break before heading back to the stands or the stage.
