Dentons has helped Fulleren obtain the merger clearance from the Czech Republic’s Office for the Protection of Competition for the acquisition of the Slavia Praha football club.

Controlled by Czech entrepreneur Pavel Tykac, Fulleren has now acquired "a 99,98% share in the football club SK Slavia Praha and a 100% share in Eden Arena from CITIC Europe Holdings. As a result of the competition authority’s decision, Pavel Tykac will become the majority owner of the SK Slavia Praha football club, one of the oldest, most popular, and most successful football clubs in the Czech Republic. He will also become the exclusive owner of the company Eden Arena, which operates Fortuna Arena in Prague, the largest and most modern football stadium in the Czech Republic."

The Dentons team included Partner Petr Zakoucky, Senior Associate Adam Prerovsky, Associate Tomas Pavelka, and Junior Associate Robert Kveton.
