Esport attracts many fans not only around the world, but it is also becoming increasingly popular in the Czech Republic. According to a survey by the STEM / MARK agency, 21% of the population in the Czech Republic is involved in sports games – whether as players or spectators. The Vodafone PLAYzone Arena, which covers more than 1,000 m2, will not only open for them.

“This year we have launched a revolution in sports. We introduced the Czech Championship in the game Counter-Strike: Global Offensive for 4.5 million crowns and at the same time we are opening a unique sports arena. It is no exaggeration to say that this is a dream that has turned into reality. Although there has been intense talk of esports only recently, many of us have been practicing esports for over 15 years. We will no longer meet players, spectators and partners only a few times a year at one of our events, but we can invite them to our Vodafone PLAYzone Arena, the new home of Czech-Slovak sports, “describes Lukáš Pleskot, CEO of PLAYzone.

Visitors to the Vodafone PLAYzone Arena can look forward to a modern bar with a bistro, where they can watch the most interesting Czech and foreign competitions in front of a large LED screen. But if they want to play on their own, they have almost 60 computers, virtual reality or gaming devices at their disposal as a special gaming chair.

“Our mission is to bring people together and offer them the benefits of digitization. With its equipment, the arena in Chodov opens up the world of sports not only to professionals, but also to a wide range of interested parties. The best moments come when nothing disturbs us. That is why we are glad that we can not only act as a partner in the sport, but we are in contact with the players in the entire arena. Thanks to our connection, we will allow players to enjoy their hobby without getting stuck or waiting for an internet connection. Vodafone PLAYzone Arena is a unique project and I am glad that we can be there, “says Petr Dvořák, CEO of Vodafone.

The arena will not only serve visitors, it also opens up marketing and event opportunities for companies to present their gaming services, projects or products. There will be spaces in the arena for workshops, lectures and other presentations. Last but not least, popular game shows broadcast on Prima COOL or CNN Prima News will be filmed here.
