A spokesman for the International Council of Jews from Czechoslovakia told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that the stadium at Prague of the former Jewish sports club, “Hagibor,” was being rebuilt as a training ground and car park for the Czech athletic club, “Bohemia.” The site is to become a permanent sports arena but this would take some years, the spokesman said. Hagibor was founded in 1912 and was one of the three Jewish sports clubs in Czechoslovakia specializing in athletics. The stadium was inaugurated in 1927.
