6 saves: Jan Bačkovský was the team
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.
The terraces14 Sep 2026
One of their own: Michal Černák
He is 23 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

One of our own: Filip Sykora joins the Dukla Prague first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Filip Sykora is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

One of our own: Antonin Vydra joins the Dukla Prague first team

Dukla Prague promote Adam Krejci from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Adam Krejci has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Dukla Prague get the job done against Jablonec
A 1‑0 win over Jablonec, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.
Squad14 Sep 2026
Appearance number 100 for Jan Kozojed
100 games in this shirt, through managers and relegations and everything else. Service like it is disappearing from the game and the crowd knows what it is watching.
The dugout14 Sep 2026
The manager makes an example of Jaroslav Svozil
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
In brief
- Squad Dario Kreiker falls out with a teammate over standards
- Squad Dukla Prague are still strangers to each other
- The dugout A satisfied Filip Sykora
