David Pavelka (born 18 May 1991) is a Czech professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Sparta Prague and the Czech Republic national team.[1]

Club career

[edit]

In the 2014–15 Czech Cup final on 27 May 2015, Pavelka took the first penalty in the shoot-out and converted his spot-kick as his club Slovan Liberec defeated Jablonec 3–1.[2]

On 19 January 2016, Pavelka moved abroad for the first time, joining Süper Lig football club Kasımpaşa in a transfer worth a reported $1.65 million.[3] He signed a contract until the end of the 2017–18 season.[3]

On 6 October 2020, Pavelka returned to his native country, signing for Sparta Prague in the Czech First League.[4]

International career

[edit]

On 3 September 2015, Pavelka debuted as a starter in the Czech senior squad in a UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying against Kazakhstan, ending in a 2–1 victory for the Czechs.[5] He was eventually selected to represent the Czech Republic at the final tournament held in France.[6]

With the arrival of Jaroslav Šilhavý to the national team in 2018, Pavelka played all the minutes in the three remaining matches of the 2018–19 UEFA Nations League as well as a friendly match against Poland, becoming a key player of the entire team.[7]

Pavelka scored his first national team goal in a friendly match against Brazil on 26 March 2019.[8]
