    In the 2009–10 season, Bohemians Prague used Stadion Evžena Rošického as its home stadium.[1] Additionally, SK Kladno and Bohemians 1905[3] both played one home match here in March 2010 due to under-soil heating concerns at their own stadia, after the winter break.[1]

    In October 2011, Dukla Prague played a match here while work was done on their under-soil heating and seating installation in the 2011–12 Czech First League.[1] By doing so, Dukla became the ninth team to play a home match at Strahov in ten years.[1]

    In December 2022, the stadium was closed due serious defects of its steel structure. According to Football Association of the Czech Republic (FAČR) spokesperson, the stadium was no longer safe to use and its repair would be a large-scale investment which the FAČR was unable to secure at the time.[4]
