"Czechs confirm 74-year-old Miroslav Koubek as head coach ahead of Prague showdown"
"It's Prague or bust for the Ireland on their route to the 2026 World Cup finals as the Czech FA today confirmed the Fortuna Arena, home of Slavia Prague, as the match venue for their semi-final play-off against Heimir Hallgrimsson's side."
"But the confirmation of the venue which has only a capacity of 19,300 means a real scramble for tickets for Ireland supporters with less than 1,000 tickets due to be available for away fans."
Miroslav Koubek, aged 74, has been confirmed as head coach of the Czech national team. The Czech FA selected the Fortuna Arena, home of Slavia Prague, as the venue for the semi-final play-off against Heimir Hallgrimsson's Ireland. The match represents a decisive step on the route to the 2026 World Cup finals for both teams. Fortuna Arena's seating capacity is 19,300, and fewer than 1,000 tickets will be available for away supporters. The limited away allocation creates a significant scramble for tickets among Ireland fans.
