Pavel Bucha (born 11 March 1998) is a Czech professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for FC Cincinnati in Major League Soccer.
Club career
He made his league debut in Slavia's Fortuna Liga 0–1 loss at Jihlava on 17 February 2018.[3] In June 2018, he was sent back to the Slavia junior squad following his refusal to extend his contract.[4] In July, Bucha terminated his contract with Slavia Prague on the grounds that removing him from the first team had constituted a breach of contract by the club. Immediately after, he signed a four-year deal with rivals Viktoria Plzeň.[5]
On 7 February 2024, Bucha signed a contract with Major League Soccer club FC Cincinnati until 2026, with a club option for 2027.[6]
International career
In October 2021 he was called up to the senior Czech Republic squad and was on the bench against Belarus.[7]
