With the ageing Ďolíček stadium in Prague failing to meet the Czech football association’s standards that teams to have all-seater stadiums with floodlighting, drastic action was required. Nicknamed the Kangaroos or "Klokani" following a celebrated 1927 tour of Australia, where they were presented with two live kangaroos, the Bohemian 1905 football club - one of the most popular teams in the Czech Republic - has been given the high technology lighting treatment.  With the ageing Ďolíček stadium in Prague failing to meet the Czech football association’s standards that require first division teams to have all-seater stadiums with floodlighting, drastic action was required. To meet such requirements, the Bohemians choose 112 Mundial 2kW floodlights delivering 1,200 lux installed on the main stand roof and two new 31m masts.

And, what happened to those two kangaroos? After the tour, they were donated to the local Prague zoo. The only kangaroo left is the club mascot!
