Lukáš Provod (born 23 October 1996) is a Czech professional footballer who plays as a left winger for Czech First League club Slavia Prague and the Czech Republic national team.

Life

Provod was born and raised in Plzeň.[2]

Club career

Provod played in the Bohemian Football League in the 2015–16 season, representing Domažlice, who were operating as a farm team for his parent club Viktoria Plzeň. He joined Baník Sokolov on a season-long loan for the 2016–17 season. He played in all of his team's first five league matches in the Czech National Football League, scoring in the away game against Pardubice. Provod also represented Sokolov in the Czech Cup, scoring in the 2–1 second round loss against Zápy.[3]

Provod joined České Budějovice for the second half of the 2018–19 Czech National Football League, celebrating the second-tier title and promotion to the Czech First League with the club at the end of the season.[4]

On 3 September 2019, Slavia Prague confirmed that Provod had arrived on loan from Viktoria Plzeň for the remainder of the calendar year, and signed a deal for a permanent transfer afterwards.[5]

International career

Provod received his first call-up by coach Jaroslav Šilhavý for 2020–21 UEFA Nations League B matches against Slovakia and Scotland.[6] He debuted in the former match on 4 September 2020, which the Czech Republic won 3–1.[7]

On 27 March 2021, Provod scored his first senior international goal in a 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification match against Belgium.[8] He was not included in the UEFA Euro 2020 squad due to a serious knee injury.[9]

On 28 May 2024, Provod was selected in the 26-man squad for UEFA Euro 2024.[10] The same year on 18 June, he scored his country's first goal of the tournament during their opening match against Portugal, which ended in a 2–1 defeat.[11]

On 31 May 2026, Provod was selected in the 26-man squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.[12]
