Czech football experts advocate for regional academy development

Regional football experts in the Czech Republic are discussing the development of youth academies and the professionalization of local leagues.

Provazník, a long-time figure at Baník Sokolov with over twenty years of experience in club management and youth coaching, is advocating for the Karlovy Vary region to secure a spot in the third league and establish a dedicated football academy. He has been instrumental in restructuring Baník Sokolov following the cessation of support from Sokolovská uhlí.

Jiří Vorlický, who currently manages the academy for 1. FC Slovácko and coaches their reserve team, was recognized for his influence in the Blansko region. Vorlický, a former player with top-tier experience, has focused his career on youth development and coaching across various clubs and projects, emphasizing the importance of consistent educational efforts within regional football structures.
