If you've watched a match at Slavia Prague's Fortuna Arena, chances are the noise, colour and atmosphere came from one end of the stadium.
Behind one goal sits Tribuna Sever, the club's leading ultras movement and the driving force behind many of the tifos, chants and visual displays that have helped make Slavia one of the best-supported teams across Central Europe.
Known for huge choreographies, packed away ends and passionate backing both at home and abroad, Tribuna Sever has become synonymous with the modern Slavia Prague matchday experience.

Tribuna Sever translates from Czech as ‘North Stand', referring to the section of the Fortuna Arena occupied by Slavia Prague's most dedicated supporters.
The group sits at the heart of organised support at Slavia matches, coordinating chants, banners, flags and large-scale tifo displays designed to inspire the team and generate an intimidating atmosphere for visiting sides.
While the name originally referred to a specific area of the stadium, Tribuna Sever has evolved into a wider supporter movement that plays a central role in Slavia Prague's fan culture.
Who are the Tribuna Sever ultras?
Tribuna Sever is widely regarded as Slavia Prague's principal ultras group and one of the most prominent supporter scenes in Czech football.
The movement organises support for both home and away matches, with members regularly travelling across the Czech Republic and Europe to follow the team.
Beyond matchdays, Tribuna Sever operates its own supporters' organisation, website, merchandise store and media channels, helping to keep fans connected throughout the year.
Founded in 2008 and based in Prague, the group has continued to grow in profile thanks to increasingly ambitious choreographies and displays that have attracted attention from football supporters across Europe.

For visiting fans, the North Stand is often the focal point of the stadium, particularly before kick-off when choreographies are unveiled and throughout matches when coordinated chants reverberate around the ground.
