[2] It is the home venue of SK Slavia Prague and occasionally the Czech Republic national football team.

During the 2011–12 season the stadium hosted home matches for FC Viktoria Plzeň in the Champions League group stage.

The first match at this stadium took place on 27 September 1953, Slavia drew 1–1 against the team of Křídla vlasti Olomouc.

In the 1970s, it became apparent that Eden did not provide sufficient comfort for the visitors and started planning to build a new one in the same place.

In the meantime, Slavia moved to Stadion Evžena Rošického, a stadium on the Strahov hill, which is large but uncomfortable and poorly accessible.

In 2000, the stadium became ineligible to host Czech First League matches, so Slavia moved to the unpopular Strahov again.

In 2016, CEFC China Energy, who had previously purchased a majority stake in SK Slavia Prague, sought to buy a 70% stake in the stadium and announced plans to invest around €50 million (including the purchase price) to improve the stadium capacity and turn it into the main national stadium for the Czech Republic national team.

[6] In April 2017, it was announced that the details of the transaction have since changed and CEFC China Energy had purchased the stadium in full.

In July 2008, it was announced that betting company Synot Tip had made an agreement with E Side Property Limited, the owners of the stadium, regarding a sponsorship deal regarding one of the stands.
