Michal Hubínek gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Michal Hubínek has just signed for České Budějovice, and for once the answer mattered.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Aleksandar Popović due for a České Budějovice medical

Everything agreed with Slovan Bratislava, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Peter Pokorný turns down České Budějovice

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Slovan Bratislava keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Michal Hubínek comes home

The shirt still fits. Michal Hubínek is back at České Budějovice, and half the ground remembers him in these colours already. Some signings need selling to the town; this one sold itself.

Martin Janáček is a České Budějovice player again

He left as a boy and has come back still knowing where the away end is. Most signings have to be explained to a town; this one needed a photograph and nothing else.

A falling-out at České Budějovice

Martin Janáček and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

A row about effort at České Budějovice

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

One of our own: Stanislav Holes joins the České Budějovice first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Stanislav Holes is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Ales Darida steps up from the České Budějovice academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Ales Darida has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

Both of them Victor Udoh's — 8.26

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.26, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Matěj Radosta arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Matěj Radosta has, at České Budějovice, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Théo Borne 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.

Emil Tischler is a České Budějovice player again

He left as a boy and has come back still knowing where the away end is. Most signings have to be explained to a town; this one needed a photograph and nothing else.

Match1 Aug 2026

České Budějovice see off Táborsko

Three points for České Budějovice, 3‑1 the final word against Táborsko in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Filip Vecheta falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The terraces3 Aug 2026

One of their own: Victor Udoh

He is 21 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.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Tempers go at České Budějovice

Victor Udoh 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.

Still no ink between České Budějovice and Matěj Radosta

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at České Budějovice, another week without a signature from Matěj Radosta.
