West Ham United midfielder Tomáš Souček has been named Czech Footballer of the Year for the fourth time in his career. The 30-year-old, who captains the Czech national team, received the prestigious accolade during a ceremony in Prague on Monday night.

Lukáš Provod of Slavia Prague finished second, trailing Souček by 21 points, while Pavel Šulc of Viktoria Plzeň secured third place.

This latest triumph adds to Souček’s previous victories in 2019, 2020, and 2023, placing him level with Pavel Nedvěd in third place for the most awards won. Only Ivo Viktor and record-holder Petr Čech, who has claimed the title nine times, have won the award more frequently.
