Sigma Olomouc in mid-table

In the picturesque holiday destination of Olomouc in Czechia, visitors can find not only many historic buildings, sites and attractions: top-flight football has been played in Olomouc for many years. On matchday 24, the city's club, Sigma Olomouc, is currently in 7th place in the Czech 16-team league (as of 14 April 2010). The club's most successful league campaigns came in 2001 and 2004, when Sigma Olomouc finished third in the championship in both years.

A holiday in Olomouc: watch a Sigma Olomouc match live at the stadium

The club from Central Moravia plays its home matches at Andrův Stadium in Olomouc. The stadium has 12,072 seats. If you're staying at a hotel in Olomouc or in a holiday home over a weekend when Sigma Olomouc is playing a home match in the Czech First League, football fans shouldn't miss the opportunity to go. The Czech league is known for its tactically and technically well-trained talents, who see football in Czechia as a springboard to one of the three major leagues (England, Spain and Germany). This is something the Czech national team has also benefited from to date. After failing to qualify for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Czech football now needs a new beginning. Perhaps one or two of Sigma Olomouc's talents will be part of it.

Olomouc is a Czech holiday destination with top-flight football: visitors can enjoy a family holiday in one of Olomouc's hotels and, as an added bonus, watch good Czech football live at Sigma Olomouc's stadium.
