UEFA Issues Lifetime Ban to Czech Coach for Secretly Filming Players

The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) has imposed a lifetime ban on Czech women's football coach Peter Vlahovski after confirming he secretly filmed his players. Vlahovski was found guilty in May 2025, receiving a suspended one-year prison sentence and a five-year domestic coaching ban. The victims, players of FC Slovacko, included individuals as young as 17 who were filmed in dressing rooms. While Vlahovski admitted to the actions and expressed remorse, UEFA's disciplinary body has requested that FIFA extend the ban globally to prevent him from coaching in any jurisdiction. Additionally, UEFA has instructed the Czech Football Federation to formally revoke Vlahovski's coaching license.
