Dominik Holec


Dominik Holec is a Slovak football goalkeeper who plays for Czech First League club Sparta Prague.

Club career

FC ViOn Zlaté Moravce

Holec made his professional Slovak Super Liga debut for ViOn Zlaté Moravce against MŠK Žilina on 26 February 2017, in a match against his mother club Žilina. Holec conceded four goals in a 4-1 defeat, being beaten by Miroslav Káčer, future international Samuel Mráz, season's top scorer Filip Hlohovský and Lukáš Jánošík.

MŠK Žilina

Holec was released from MŠK Žilina, as the club had entered liquidation, due to a coronavirus pandemic.

Sparta Prague

On 28 May 2020, it was announced that commencing the following season, Holec would become the goalkeeper of Czech club Sparta Prague. It was also revealed, that Sparta had previously been interested in Holec, prior to his release from Žilina, and he had signed for the Czech side despite interest from unnamed Belgian and Spanish teams. Holec had cited the approach of Tomáš Rosický as a strong factor in the decision to join the club.

International career

Holec enjoyed his first inclusion in the wider squad of Slovak senior national team in November 2019, when he was listed as an alternate by Pavel Hapal for two qualifying UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying fixtures against Croatia and Azerbaijan. Holec actually went on to join the squad, hence being called-up from the alternate position, as Dominik Greif could not be involved fully in preparations ahead of the Azerbaijan fixture. Holec therefore enjoyed his first call-up, but did not manage to make an appearance.
