People can choose from more than three dozen sports clubs and venues to workout, swim, skate, play football, table tennis or badminton.

The list of places that support the event, now in its 15th year, is available on the website

Some facilities require telephone or online booking due to their limited capacity.

The first time Prague offered sports facilities free of charge was in 2008, when 15,000 people availed themselves of the opportunity and the Week of Free Sports has since become hugely popular.
