Stadium

Ústí nad Labem's home stadium is Městský stadion. However, the stadium has a seated capacity of just 555, and as such does not meet the league requirements for the Czech First League. Therefore, during the 2010–11 season, the team played its home matches at Na Stínadlech in Teplice. When the club won the 2011–12 Czech 2. Liga, the team were not promoted to the Czech First League due to the issues with the stadium.
