Jakub Brabec (born 6 August 1992) is a Czech professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Primeira Liga club Rio Ave and the Czech national team.

Club career

[edit | edit source]

Brabec was part of the youth system at Sparta Prague, but having been released in summer 2008, he joined Viktoria Žižkov, another Prague-based club.[1] He was promoted to the Žižkov first team during the 2008–09 Czech First League season, when he was still at school.[2] He made one league appearance for the club in this season, playing a full match against Viktoria Plzen as a 16-year-old in a 2–0 defeat.[3]

In the 2009–10 season, Brabec played a further 14 games for Žižkov, who were then playing in the second tier Czech 2. Liga. One of the fourteen appearances was as a substitute. In one match in this season against FC Zenit Čáslav, he received a 31st-minute red card.[3] He made six appearances in the Czech 2. Liga in the following 2010–11 season, four of which were as a substitute. He helped Žižkov achieve a second-place league finish and promotion back to the Czech First League.[3]

Brabec returned to Sparta Prague for an undisclosed fee in June 2011.[4][5] He told UEFA.com that his primary motivation for making the transfer was that he was a childhood fan of his former club and that he would have a better chance of playing in the UEFA Cup and the Uefa Champions League.[6] He started the 2011–12 season with the reserve team, Sparta Prague II, who compete in the 2. Liga.

On 31 August 2016, Brabec signed a four-year contract with Genk.[7]

Aris

On 13 March 2023, Brabec signed a contract extension with the club until summer 2026.[10]

Brabec has represented the Czech Republic at youth international level. He scored his first national goal on his third and final appearance for the Czech Republic under-18s in a 3–1 loss to the Austria under-18s in a March 2010 friendly match.[12]

Later in 2009, he made his debut for the Czech Republic under-19s in a 4–0 win over the Malta under-19s.[12][13]

Brabec was selected as captain of the Czech Republic under-19s squad for the 2011 UEFA European Under-19 Championship.[6] His first goal at under-19 level came in this tournament. He scored a header in a group game tournament fixture against the Republic of Ireland under-19s to equalise 1–1 on 23 July 2011; the Czechs went on to win 2–1.[14] The Czech Republic finished the tournament as losing finalists to Spain.[15]
