Match6 Jan 2027

Cup progress for Dukla Prague

A 1‑0 win over Sparta Prague, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Market11 Jan 2027

Rajmund Mikuš 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 The request is on a desk at Dukla Prague, and it is not being withdrawn.

Player ratings11 Jan 2027

Samson Tijani pops up at the right end — 7.80

7.80, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.

Squad11 Jan 2027

Samson Tijani signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Samson Tijani commits to Dukla Prague for another 4 years.

Squad11 Jan 2027

Words exchanged at Dukla Prague

Jakub Kadák 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.

Market11 Jan 2027

Dukla Prague get their man

The chase for Marek Richter ended with $160.0K changing hands and Viktoria Žižkov out of reasons to say no. The supporters will judge the fee the only way that matters: on Saturdays.

Squad11 Jan 2027

The step up is real for Olatoundji Tessilimi

At 22 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Player ratings11 Jan 2027

Nothing got past Michal Tomič

22 defensive actions and a clean sheet at the end of them. A defender's afternoon can only be told by what did not happen, which is why nobody makes a highlights package out of one and every manager in the division would take it.

Transfer targets11 Jan 2027

Door shut on Alberto Simoni

Dukla Prague asked and Asteras said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad21 Dec 2026

The knee: Jakub Plšek out for 31 days

31 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Dukla Prague lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Match19 Dec 2026

5 matches without a win for Dukla Prague

The run now stands at 5, and the questions being asked around Dukla Prague are no longer polite ones.

Squad21 Dec 2026

The step up is real for Michal Kroupa

At 19 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Match19 Dec 2026

Dukla Prague leaking at the back

4 matches, two or more conceded in every one of them. Sides that create as much as this can live with it for a while. Nobody lives with it forever.

Match19 Dec 2026

Dukla Prague come up short against Viktoria Plzen

Viktoria Plzen left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad21 Dec 2026

A row about effort at Dukla Prague

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Dario Kreiker was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout21 Dec 2026

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑2 defeat, delivered by Stanislav Darida to a room that had heard them before.

Squad21 Dec 2026

Words exchanged at Dukla Prague

Michal Kroupa 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.

The dugout21 Dec 2026

The manager makes an example of Namory Cissé

“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.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad14 Dec 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for Jakub Plšek

38 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Dukla Prague lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Match12 Dec 2026

Mlada Boleslav punish Dukla Prague for switching off

2 goals to the good, and then a slow surrender of everything that had been earned. Jakub Kadák will not be the one blamed for it, but nobody at Dukla Prague escapes the conversation that follows a collapse like this.

Player ratings14 Dec 2026

Matej Malenšek, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.85

A mark of 7.85 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.

Match12 Dec 2026

The wait goes on for Dukla Prague

4 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Squad14 Dec 2026

Tidjane Traoré in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Dukla Prague this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Loan watch14 Dec 2026

The goals keep arriving from Štěpán Šebrle’s exile

14 goals in 16 games at Viktoria Žižkov — numbers that travel home faster than he does. Somebody at Dukla Prague updates a spreadsheet every Monday, and it makes better reading each week.

Player ratings14 Dec 2026

Jakub Kadák in the eights

A performance of 8.09 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad14 Dec 2026

Samson Tijani reaches 100 appearances

100 games in the shirt. Nobody sets out to build a record like that; it happens to a certain kind of player at a certain kind of club, and this town knows what it has.

The dugout14 Dec 2026

Jan Bačkovský gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad23 Nov 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for Jakub Plšek

62 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Dukla Prague lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad23 Nov 2026

Tempers go at Dukla Prague

Jakub Kadák 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.

Player ratings23 Nov 2026

Dario Kreiker runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 19. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match21 Nov 2026

Zlin take the points off Dukla Prague

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Loan watch23 Nov 2026

The goals keep arriving from Štěpán Šebrle’s exile

12 goals in 13 games at Viktoria Žižkov — numbers that travel home faster than he does. Somebody at Dukla Prague updates a spreadsheet every Monday, and it makes better reading each week.

The dugout23 Nov 2026

No hiding place for Daniel Kozma

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Daniel Kozma, and the manager let it.

The dugout23 Nov 2026

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑1 defeat, delivered by Stanislav Darida to a room that had heard them before.

The dugout23 Nov 2026

Dukla Prague keep their word to Gideon Iliya

Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.

The dugout23 Nov 2026

Rajmund Mikuš has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Dukla Prague will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

In brief
