Tomáš Bobček (born 8 September 2001) is a Slovak professional footballer who plays as a forward for Polish club Lechia Gdańsk and the Slovakia national team.
Club career
MFK Ružomberok
Bobček made his Fortuna Liga debut for Ružomberok against Zemplín Michalovce on 2 March 2019. The match concluded in a goalless draw, with Bobček replacing Ismar Tandir in the 68th minute in an attempt to break the deadlock.[2]
Lechia Gdańsk
On 4 September 2023, Polish second division side Lechia Gdańsk announced the signing of Bobček on a four-year contract.[3] He scored his first goals for the club later the same month, scoring twice in a 5–1 victory against GKS Katowice.[4]
International career
Bobček was first recognised in a senior national team nomination by head coach Štefan Tarkovič on 23 May 2022, as an alternate ahead of four UEFA Nations League fixtures against Belarus, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan.[5] For the same June fixtures, he was also a member of U21 team ahead of a qualifier against Malta and a friendly against Romania.[6] After Tarkovič's dismissal and arrival of Francesco Calzona, Bobček was initially omitted from nominations, even as an alternate, before joining a training camp for national team prospects at NTC Senec in December 2022.[7] Bobček made his national team debut as an 88th minute substitute at the World Cup qualification match against Northern Ireland in November 2025. Entering with just two minutes of the game remaining, he scored in stoppage time with a left-footed finish after a corner, to secure a 1–0 win for Slovakia and guarantee at least a playoff place for his nation.[8]
