The origins of motorcycle speedway in Prague can be traced back to races held at the stadium, starting on 9 June 1928.The 1994 reconstruction into its present form saw Letná closed for nine months, until the stadium met all international standards.[4] After the dissolution of Czechoslovakia, Letná continued as an international stadium, hosting matches of the Czech Republic national football team from 1995, including qualification matches for UEFA Euro 1996, in which the Czechs defeated the Netherlands and Norway.[6] This necessitated Sparta playing league matches at the end of the 2000–01 season at the nearby Stadion Evžena Rošického.Since the beginning the stadium has been used as a speaking tribune for events that took place in front of it, in/around the Milada Horaková street and the large "Letná Plain".
