Czech clubs Viktoria Plzeň and Zlín gear up for new league campaign

Sport director Martin Vozábal of Viktoria Plzeň said the Czech transfer market is empty and the club will not overpay for players, emphasizing patience and a focus on quality rather than price. He noted that wealthy owners have raised player values but domestic talent remains scarce, and the club prefers to keep current Czech and Slovak players rather than splurge on foreign signings.

Meanwhile, FC Zlín completed its pre‑season training in Opalenice, using the facilities to fine‑tune tactics ahead of the upcoming Chance Liga. The club will face Polish side Polonia Warsaw in a friendly, using the match to assess form and readiness before the league starts.
