Czechia players union seeks lifetime soccer ban for coach who filmed female players

Czechia's players union demands a lifetime soccer ban for sexual offenders after a coach received a suspended sentence for secretly filming female players. The coach, Petr Vlachovsky, received a one-year suspended sentence and a five-year domestic coaching ban for filming women in changing rooms and showers over four years. Players are challenging the leniency of the sentence. The union, supported by FIFPRO, is pushing for a global ban, citing concerns Vlachovsky could coach abroad soon. Victims could not appeal the verdict issued without a trial.
