Recent developments include the installation of wooden ball tracks in Kaplice—a participatory budget project—and Prostějov, as well as a new €10 million renovated sports complex in Vlachovo Březí. Football infrastructure is seeing significant investment. Jablonec nad Nisou is investing nearly 11 million CZK to replace artificial turf in Mšena, while Nové Hodějovice has begun construction on a year-round training pitch. Domažlice is planning a 13.5 million CZK training ground, and Lovosice secured a grant for youth football equipment. In Ostrava, the contract for a new 2.5 billion CZK Baník stadium is expected to be signed soon, though its accompanying multi-purpose hall faces delays until at least 2028.
