David Douděra (born 31 May 1998) is a Czech professional footballer who plays as a right midfielder for Czech First League side Slavia Prague and the Czech Republic national team.

Club career

Dukla Prague

Douděra joined FK Dukla Prague at the age of 15. After good appearances for Dukla Prague's B-team, he got his official debut for the club in a Czech First League against Sigma Olomouc on 29 September 2017. Douděra started on the bench, but replaced Róbert Kovaľ in the 62nd minute.[1] He played 10 games further in the 2017–18 season, five as a starter and the rest from the bench. In the following season, Douděra became a regular starter with 30 league appearances; 21 of them as a starter. However, Dukla was relegated to the Czech National Football League for the 2019–20 season.

Mladá Boleslav

In the winter break of the 2019–20 season, Douděra transferred from Dukla to Mladá Boleslav.[2] He debuted for the team on 14 February 2020 against Dynamo České Budějovice.[3] In the 2021–22 Czech First League, Douděra scored 10 goals and registered 4 assists for Boleslav in 31 matches.[4]

Slavia Prague

Following the end of the 2021–22 Czech First League, Douděra became the first summer signing for Slavia Prague.[4] He made his competitive debut for the club in a 4–0 away win against Gibraltarian side St Joseph's in the second qualifying round of the 2022–23 UEFA Europa Conference League.[5] On 9 May 2026 in the Prague derby, Douděra received a red card after he shouted at referee Karel Rouček "Dejte třetí poločas, vy zmrdi!" (lit. 'Give a third half, you motherfuckers!'). Slavia chairman Jaroslav Tvrdík said that Douděra had been immediately removed from the first team and would not play for Slavia again. Douděra later apologized for his behavior.[6] On 14 May 2026, Douděra was banned by the LFA Disciplinary commission for three matches.[7]

International career

Douděra represented the Czech Republic at under-20 and under-21 level. In March 2023, he received his first call-up to the Czech senior squad for UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying Group E matches against Poland and Moldova.[8] Douděra scored his first goal for the national team in November 2023 in a 3–0 victory against the latter opponent,[9] where he also debuted.[10]

On 31 May 2026, Douděra was selected in the 26-man squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.[11]
