Martin Podhajsky poses with the club shirt of FK Usti nad Labem. FK VIAGEM Ústí nad LabemWhile a few summer transfers arguably raised an eyebrow or two, we can't imagine any club having made a stranger signing than Czech third division side FK Usti nad Labem. Rather than strengthening their back four or splashing the cash on a new striker, FK Usti instead opted to sign a 22-year-old who has never played football before. The deal came about when the father of law student Martin Podhajsky paid the club 500,000 Czech koruna (around $22,000, £17,500) to secure his son a place in the senior squad and guarantee him at least 10 minutes of first-team football this season. View this post on Instagram A post shared by FK VIAGEM Ústí nad Labem (@fkviagemusti) "He [Martin] didn't play football ... only FIFA on the computer," said Usti owner Premysl Kuban, whose company Viagem took over the club in June. "On the other hand, I don't usually see half a million koruna rolling around on the ground. "If someone gives it to me, I'll let anyone join." Kuban has made it his business to bring a little razzmatazz to FK Usti since taking charge, tantalising fans with ideas for a new club crest, giving away thousands of free season tickets and producing a glut of entertaining viral videos for social media. However, in a further twist, it turned out that Podhajsky actually works for Viagem. "Martin is a law student and an employee of Viagem, who deals with things related to hostesses for the company," revealed Matej Svojse, commercial director of Viagem. "He said himself that he would like to play, then his dad called and things started to move." Of course, a clip teasing the terms of the Podhajsky caper soon appeared on the Usti channels, asking fans what they thought of the "exclusive offer" and to respond using emojis. View this post on Instagram A post shared by FK VIAGEM Ústí nad Labem (@fkviagemusti) Kuban's latest stunt has captured the attention of media around the globe with the bizarre decision to allow a young and entirely unexperienced rookie to join the Usti squad hitting headlines The precise terms of the deal agreed by his father mean the youngster will be allowed to play 10 minutes as a substitute replacing club captain Jakub Mares during a game -- with the 500,000 korunas then being donated to the Usti sponsorship fund we will put him in the attack for 10 minutes "If his dad he will give us 500,000 for 10 minutes .. Podhajsky is now officially registered with the Czech Football Association, according to reports in the Czech media which allows him to begin training with his new teammates "It is planned that he will start training in the fall "We are now finalising the contract with Martin and the fans will see him already at our first home game FK Usti have made a decent start to the 2023-24 Bohemian Football League B campaign winning three of their opening six fixtures to find themselves in sixth place in the table with 10 points to their credit FIFA-playing law student will help boost them toward the promotion places remains to be seen Flood warnings were in place at over 200 locations across the Czech Republic at 12pm today with the highest threat level 3 designated at 44 locations on more than 30 rivers and waterways River levels have been rising since Friday evening and the situation is getting worse as the rain continues the Central Flood Commission called on the governor of the Moravian-Silesian Region to declare a state of emergency The situation is also still serious in the Jeseniky area of Olomouc and the Frydlant area of Liberec but there are problems in several other regions as well Trains are not running on dozens of lines across the country since this morning due to extreme weather – some because of fallen trees Railway managers are trying to get the lines back up and running as soon as possible but heavy rain and strong winds have continued to complicate the situation since the morning “The extreme weather is complicating rail traffic The railway administration is working intensively to remove obstacles and at the moment traffic is stopped on several dozen lines We advise passengers to postpone their weekend journey unless absolutely necessary,” CD said Railway firefighters intervened in 28 incidents from Friday evening until 6am this morning mostly in the Liberec and Hradec Kralove regions a spokesman for the Railway Administration’s firefighters told reporters that the service was preparing for a demanding weekend more than 60,000 households in the Czech Republic were left without electricity this morning due to extreme rain and wind CEZ spokeswoman Sona Holingerova and E.ON spokesman Roman Spernak told journalists CEZ said the most failures (more than 20,000) were in the Usti nad Labem Region while over 13,000 were without power in the Liberec and Hradec Kralove regions Several thousand households were also without power in the Central Bohemia and Karlovy Vary Regions it is calmer in Moravia,” Holingerova said Several rivers in the Moravia-Silesia Region reached extreme flood threat this afternoon including the Opava river at Karlovice and the Cerna Opava river in Mnichov according to data from the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute (CHMU) the situation improved and the level dropped slightly Severely raised water levels are expected to make their way to South Moravia by tomorrow where preparations are underway to mitigate the damage Around 180 patients were evacuated from the Hospital of the Merciful Brothers in Brno as water rising through the sewer system put technical facilities at risk including the hospital’s alternative power sources “Even though the hospital probably won’t be flooded technical facilities and alternative sources of electricity through the lower sewer the hospital would not be able to function which is why we are evacuating it to be safe,” said South Moravian Governor Jan Grolich mainly to the Brno faculty hospitals in Bohunice and St Today we are continuing mainly with follow-up care patients We will transport them to hospitals in Blansko Hustopeče and Boskovice,” said Pavel Piler director of the hospital of the Merciful Brothers Staff from the evacuated hospital will reinforce teams at these hospitals The river Svratka reached the third stage of flood warning at Brno-Židlochovice this afternoon exceeding four metres with a flow rate of 140 cubic metres per second it was in a dry state with less than five cubic metres which flows through several Brno city districts rose by tens of centimetres in the last 24 hours water managers explained that the rises in water levels are mainly controlled as part of the preventive draining of reservoirs the worst of the situation should be seen on Sunday “If heavy water and floods really come and we will have time to prepare for it,” said South Moravian Governor Jan Grolich Advertise with us Privacy Policy Brno Daily is a Czech media outlet for expats Our partners Oguama is playing for Sluneta Usti nad Labem in the Czech Republic The team was founded in 1992 and plays in the top Czech league Oguama averaged 2.3 points and 2.2 rebounds this past season in Clifton Per his IG former Bearcat Ody Oguama (@odyoguama) will begin his profession career for Sluneta Usti nad Labem over in the Czech Republic.

design a new €15 million low-carbon civic hub for Ústí nad Labem Czech Republic [Deadline: 4 November 2022] The competition seeks concepts to transform a disused former school into a new sustainable civic centre for the historic northern Bohemia town and wider region which is part-way through an ambitious shift away from dependency on coal to new renewable energy sources The Transformation Centre of the Ústí nad Labem Region (TCÚK) project will preserve and re-use the pavilion building of the former school as much as possible and deliver adaptions and an extension so it can serve as a new headquarters for managing the area’s shift towards sustainability According to the brief: ‘The construction of the TCÚK is a strategic project of the Ústí nad Labem Region within the framework of the Fair Territorial Transformation Plan It is a new pole of the city development with excellent transport accessibility and proximity to the Jan Evangelista Purkyně University a solution is sought that would take advantage of modern and sustainable urban values and thus provide a model example of positive transformation and revitalization of an urban brownfield ‘The new TCUK headquarters should serve as a showcase building and a new standard for public and commercial development The redevelopment and extension of the building should follow the principles of sustainable construction resulting in a smart and (actively) low-energy building using and incorporating state-of-the-art technologies and comprehensive blue-green infrastructure.’ Ústí nad Labem is home to around 90,000 inhabitants and is located 90km northwest of Prague The town is the capital of the surrounding Usti Region which is the main backer of the two-stage competition The project aims to deliver a new exemplar building which can demonstrate how existing brownfield sites can be repurposed to provide sustainable facilities for the surrounding community Judges will include Do Architects founder Gilma Teodora Gylytė and Studio Perspektiv founder Martin Stára The overall winner will receive a £52 (1.5 million CZK) top prize and be invited to deliver the project A second prize of £38,000 (1.1 million CZK) and third prize of £27,850 (800,000 CZK) will also be awarded The deadline for applications is 2pm local time Visit the competition website for more information Hutchison Ports is recruiting a design team for

lived up to expectations with Kipyego winning in 59:15 the fourth fastest performance in the world this year and Jepchirchir clocking 1:07:24 to win by nearly a full minute in this sprawling northern Czech city day-long rain magically subsided just prior to the race start Abraham Kipyatich – the surprise winner at last weekend’s Birell Prague Grand Prix 10K in a world-leading 27:40 – wasted no time In the pacer’s role for this contest the Kenyan went to the front to lay down an ambitious race cadence targeted for a sub-60:00 finish An early lead pack of nearly a dozen racers was soon whittled down to four: Kenyans Kipyego Peter Kwemoi and Geoffrey Kipyego and Adugna Takele of Ethiopia – all shadowing Kipyatich threw down a move that only Kipyatich could cover as the duo broke away in the solitude of the Spolchemie manufacturing facility Kipyego put the race away with a strong surge that Kipyatich could not answer With his advantage growing with every stride Kipyego breezed by 15 kilometres in 42:01 and sailed on to notch a dominating victory his winning time of 59:15 was a personal best by 15 seconds and destroyed Philemon Limo’s 2013 race record by a whopping 83 seconds In the race for the other podium positions a heady charge over the final kilometres allowed Takele (1:01:31) to pass a fading Kipyatich for second while the pace-setter (1:01:40) managed to hold on for third sporting seasonal marks more than three minutes faster than any other woman in the field the women’s race was expected to be a wire-to-wire solo performance by the 22-year-old Kenyan The world champion didn’t break away from the gun – but she probably could have Initially running conservatively behind the pacesetter Jepchirchir passed five kilometres in 15:53 while being closely shadowed by countrywoman Lucy Cheruiyot and Ethiopia’s Afera Godfay And just like that the race was seemingly over Jepchirchir’s shoe was wriggling loose and spent precious seconds adjusting her laces before resuming her race against the clock The defending champion was clinging on to race record pace but would this brief interlude prevent her from eclipsing the record she set last year “I had to fix my shoe before it fell off,” explained the two-time champion who is building toward her October 30th marathon debut in the Frankfurt Although charging hard down towards the finish Cheruiyot finished second in 1:08:17 and Godfay third in 1:08:32 Men 1 Barselius Kipyego (KEN) 59:15 2 Adugna Takele (ETH) 1:01:31 3 Abraham Kapsis Kipyatich (KEN) 1:01:40 4 Peter Kwemoi (KEN) 1:01:45 5 Wilson
