Adam Karabec

Adam Karabec (born 2 July 2003) is a Czech footballer who currently plays as a midfielder for Sparta Prague. He was included in The Guardian's "Next Generation" list for 2020.

Club Career

After a long spell in the youth academy of Bohemians 1905, which he had joined at the age of six, in 2016 Karabec gained a move to fellow Prague-based club Sparta Prague and began making it through the Letensti's youth squads. By the beginning of the 2019–20 season, Karabec was already a member of Sparta's under-19 squad, despite being only sixteen: in September 2019, he also began to play for the reserve team in their regional group of the national third division.

It took less than five months to the midfielder to impress the then head coach Vaclav Jilek and gain a call-up to join the first team. Karabec subsequently made his professional debut on February 23, 2020, coming on as a replacement for David Moberg Karlsson at the 88th minute of his side's 1–0 loss against Sigma Olomuc. After collecting other three appearances as a substitute and scoring his first goal in a 1–4 win against Karvina, he also made his first start on June 10, 2020, as he featured in Sparta's 2–0 win against Opava and got replaced by Georges Mandjeck at the 76th minute.
