Chýnov, Czech Republic – Miroslav Holer, a longtime and devoted supporter of FC Chýnov, will celebrate a significant milestone birthday on Tuesday, March 10, 2026. For years, Holer has combined his passion for photography with his unwavering dedication to the local football club, documenting countless moments on and off the pitch.
Holer’s commitment extends beyond still photography; he also captures video footage of FC Chýnov’s first-team home matches. A familiar face at nearly every home game, camera in hand, he’s become an integral part of the club’s identity. His enthusiasm for the gorgeous game is further demonstrated by his admiration for Czech footballing legends such as Antonín Panenka, Karol Dobiaš and Pavel Nedvěd.
FC Chýnov will formally recognize Holer’s years of dedicated service before their first spring home league match on Sunday, April 5th, when they host Lokomotiva Veselí nad Lužnicí at 4:30 PM local time (UTC+2). The club intends to express its gratitude for his tireless efforts and the wealth of memories he’s helped preserve.
The club expressed its wishes for Holer’s continued health, happiness, and many more years of capturing the spirit of FC Chýnov. The editorial team at Jihočeský fotbal also joined in extending their congratulations.
Holer’s operate isn’t just about recording scores and action shots. It’s about preserving the community aspect of football, the joy on the players’ faces, and the passion of the fans. For many families in Chýnov, his photographs represent cherished memories of their children’s involvement with the club and the shared experience of supporting their local team.
This dedication to youth football is particularly noteworthy. Recent successes in the region’s winter leagues highlight the strength of youth development in the area. According to reports from March 2, 2026, Chýnov hosted a winter league for youth players, with the older age group (4+1 players) seeing Chýnov take first place, followed by Ml. Vožice and Chotoviny. Hubert Šťastný of Chýnov was named the league’s best player, and Jakub Semrád of Ml. Vožice was recognized as the best goalkeeper.
The younger age group (also 4+1 players) saw Ml. Vožice claim the top spot, with Sokol Sez. Ústí and Tučapy rounding out the top three. Patrik Neved of Ml. Vožice earned the title of best player, while Lukáš Šedivý of Sokol Sez. Ústí was named best goalkeeper. These leagues, which ran from November 2025 to February 2026, drew significant attendance from players and their families, with positive feedback regarding both the sporting competition and the organization of the events.
Beyond the youth leagues, Holer’s lens has captured moments from matches like the September 15, 2025, contest between FC Chýnov and TJ Spartak Trhové Sviny. His photographs provide a visual record of the club’s progress and the dedication of its players and supporters.
The impact of a dedicated volunteer like Miroslav Holer extends far beyond the football pitch. He embodies the spirit of community involvement and the power of passion. His photographs aren’t merely images; they are a testament to the enduring love of the game and the bonds that connect a town through its football club.
FC Chýnov’s next confirmed match is against Lokomotiva Veselí nad Lužnicí on April 5th, offering another opportunity for Holer to capture the action and for the club to publicly acknowledge his invaluable contributions. Fans and well-wishers are encouraged to join in celebrating Holer’s milestone birthday and his unwavering commitment to FC Chýnov.
