SK Slavia Prague stated that the Sports Club Slavia Prague, the association, is a separate legal entity that has been long-term led by Jiří Vrba. According to the football club, under his leadership, the association got into a financial situation with liabilities exceeding 200 million crowns. Football Slavia stated that it is one of the 34 member sections of the association and in May helped resolve the critical financial situation by securing a loan of 130 million crowns. The club stated that it does not seek to purchase the land that it has leased. According to them, the lease agreement is secured until 2094, and it guarantees the conditions necessary for further development of the stadium and related infrastructure. It added that the crisis management board of the association listed the sale of the swimming stadium, hotel, or land to the hockey club as possible solutions to its financial situation, but not the sale of land to football Slavia. Slavia rejected the notion that the football club is responsible for the current situation of the association. It stated that Vrba ran in the municipal elections on Friday and needed to present his view of events to the public. At the same time, it wrote that it would welcome if the dispute went to court, where, in its view, it would be possible to assess the documents and the responsibility of the individuals. The club also recalled a letter that Vrba, as the then-chairman of the association's board, addressed to the Mayor of Prague on March 13, 2026. According to Slavia, it indicated that Vrba signed the relevant contract based on a promise of a grant. In the letter, according to the club, he pointed out that the association faced the threat of insolvency, loss of the allocated grant, and serious consequences for the further functioning of the club and its sports complex. Slavia stated that these words adequately described the current situation of the association, and it did not consider further comments necessary. #SlaviaPraha #fotbal #ekonomika (translated)

Po nizozemském zákazu dovozu a prodeje výrobků z Judeje a Samaří, východního Jeruzaléma a Golanských výšin Izrael přitvrdil. Nizozemští diplomaté působící v Ramalláhu musí do sedmi dnů odevzdat izraelské diplomatické doklady. Poté jim Izrael odejme diplomatické výsady a imunitu. Pokud chce Nizozemsko nadále zastupovat své zájmy u Palestinské samosprávy, může tak činit z území pod její kontrolou, nikoli z území Izraele. Izrael už minulý měsíc vykázal nizozemskou delegaci z Mezinárodního střediska pro podporu Gazy v Kirjat Gatu. Jeruzalém zároveň obvinil nizozemskou vládu, že její protiizraelská politika přiživuje rostoucí antisemitismus a podněcování k nenávisti v nizozemských ulicích. 👇 #Izrael #Nizozemsko #Palestina
