Supporters are reminded that full travel, entry and stadium guidance is in operation for our match against FK Jablonec.

You will need to plan all passport, transport and ticketing requirements in advance. With this in mind, fans are asked to ensure that they plan their journey to and from Jablonec well in advance of travelling to Czechia.

Passport & Entry Requirements: Czechia follows Schengen area rules. Your passport must have a ‘date of issue’ less than ten years before the date you arrive (passports renewed before 1 October 2018 may be invalid) and an ‘expiry date’ at least three months after your planned departure date. Check requirements with your travel provider prior to departure. Under the European Union’s Entry/Exit System (EES), all supporters must register biometric details (fingerprints and photo). Supporters are advised to allow at least two hours for border checks at Prague airport upon arrival and departure, and to proceed directly to passport control from the aircraft.

Flights & Airport Transfer: The nearest airport to Jablonec is Prague, with a flight time of approximately 2 hours from London Gatwick (LGW). Direct drive time from Prague airport to Jablonec is around 90 minutes, whereas public transport takes between 3.5 to 4.5 hours with multiple changes.

Supporter Coaches: The club is investigating the option of shuttle buses from Prague to Jablonec. In the event this is possible coaches would depart from the coach park at Letná Park, opposite the epet Arena to the Mírové náměstí meeting point around midday. Post-match coaches would depart from near the away turnstiles and drop off at Prague Main Train Station. The club are currently working on sourcing buses and establishing costs which are likely to be in the region of £40pp. A further update will be provided once we hear from our travel suppliers. If you are interested in this service please complete this form.

Taxis: Taxi availability in Jablonec is very limited, and supporters are advised not to rely on taxis, particularly after the match.

Hire Cars & Parking: Free parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis in the retail park next to the stadium, though space is limited on matchdays. Paid parking is also available in the city centre.

Staying in Liberec: Both tram line 11 and local train services operate between Liberec and Jablonec, with stops situated around a 15-minute walk from the stadium.

Fan Meeting Area: Supporters are recommended to gather at Mírové náměstí beside the Town Hall in Jablonec city centre, where bars, restaurants, and a shopping centre are located. Please take care when walking around the square due to active roadworks. The walk from the square to the stadium is roughly one mile (25 minutes) and includes an uphill walk.

Local Laws & Public Rules: Drinking alcohol in public spaces is illegal in Czechia and may result in fines; fans should use licensed bars and restaurants.

Pyrotechnics are strictly prohibited.

Covering your face is illegal under Czech law when travelling to, attending, or leaving a football match, as well as inside the stadium.

Flags & Banners: Banners and flags are subject to inspection and must be pre-approved at least 72 hours before kick-off by emailing supporter.services@brightonandhovealbion.com with dimensions and a fire safety certificate.

Matchday Holdback: A 20 to 30-minute holdback is expected in the away end after the match. Supporters must remain in their seats to avoid crowding; concourse, kiosk, and toilet access remains available during this time.
