Sportovní areál Drnovice is a football stadium in Drnovice, in the South Moravian Region of the Czech Republic. The game hosted two friendly matches of the Czech Republic national football team.
The stadium opened in 1955. It was used in the Czech First League between 1993 and 2002, and again in the 2004–05 season. It hosted UEFA Cup matches in the 2000–01 season, including against TSV 1860 Munich. The stadium hosted Drnovice's matches in the second tier for the last time in the 2005–06 season.[1] The stadium was sold by auction in March 2016.[2] MFK Vyškov of the second-tier Czech National Football League started using Sportovní areál Drnovice for their league matches from the start of the 2021–22 season.[1] This arrangement continued until the end of the 2024–25 season, by which time, the stadium was non-compliant with key league requirements including under-soil heating and artificial lighting.[3] By 2023, the stadium's capacity had been reduced to 4,500 seats.[4]
