Squad31 Aug 2026

A one-man rearguard from Martin Jedlička

There were 11 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Match29 Aug 2026

Nowhere to hide for Banik Ostrava

1‑4 against Slavia Prague, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Market31 Aug 2026

Matěj Chaluš puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Banik Ostrava, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market31 Aug 2026

Terms done: David Planka is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Jihlava waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Banik Ostrava is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Market31 Aug 2026

Martin Jedlička attracts admirers

The name of Martin Jedlička has come up in conversations Banik Ostrava were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Market31 Aug 2026

Spartak Trnava come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Banik Ostrava did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

An offer of $970.0K for Jiří Panoš

Banik Ostrava have gone to Viktoria Plzen with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Banik Ostrava

Václav Jurečka and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

Banik Ostrava baulk at the price for Tomáš Břečka

Zbrojovka Brno wanted more than $36.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Match19 Aug 2026

Dantaye Gilbert sends Banik Ostrava through

Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Dantaye Gilbert obliged against Zbrojovka Brno. 3‑1 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is Banik Ostrava.

Squad24 Aug 2026

3 goals for Dantaye Gilbert

The match ball belongs to Dantaye Gilbert, whose 3 goals turned a difficult afternoon into a procession.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Dantaye Gilbert, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 9.21

A mark of 9.21 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Martin Jedlička stands alone

6 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Market24 Aug 2026

David Látal asks to leave Banik Ostrava

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Banik Ostrava bid $1.2M for Jan Kliment

The offer went to Sigma Olomouc this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Market24 Aug 2026

Banik Ostrava say no — this time

The offer from Jihlava for David Látal was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Boardroom24 Aug 2026

Banik Ostrava to lose Matúš Kmeť for free

There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Matúš Kmeť has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Banik Ostrava

Václav Jurečka was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

From our football correspondent Triumph

Market10 Aug 2026

Tomáš Chorý has said yes to AEK

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Slavia Prague have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Match8 Aug 2026

Slavia Prague tear Sigma Olomouc apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 3‑0 against Sigma Olomouc, and it could have been more.

Market10 Aug 2026

Shooting Stars come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Slavia Prague did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Banik Ostrava tell Slavia Prague: David Planka is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Market10 Aug 2026

Ivan Schranz wants more than Slavia Prague are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Lukáš Provod stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Lukáš Provod and Slavia Prague agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Boardroom10 Aug 2026

Slavia Prague go back to the board over Matouš Trmal

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $900.0K — a club that wants Matouš Trmal enough to be asked twice.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

An offer of $480.0K for Jiří Panoš

Slavia Prague have gone to Viktoria Plzen with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Slavia Prague make their move for Patrik Blahút

$330.0K on the table at Slovacko. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.
