Calls for worldwide ban on Czech coach who filmed female footballers in changing room
Petr Vlachovsky given a suspended prison sentence
Five-year coaching ban applies only in Czech Republic
Fifpro has urged Fifa to impose a global coaching ban on a Czech coach who avoided jail despite being convicted of secretly filming his female players in the changing rooms and showers with a hidden camera.
Petr Vlachovsky was convicted in May 2025, without a public hearing, and was handed a suspended one-year prison sentence and a five-year domestic coaching ban, after being found to have filmed 14 players at FC Slovacko over a four-year period. He was also caught in possession of child sexual abuse material.
