Tomáš Chorý

Tomáš Chorý (born 26 January 1995) is a Czech professional footballer who plays as a forward for Slavia Prague and the Czech Republic national team.

Club career Chorý joined Viktoria Plzeň in the 2018 summer transfer window. He scored two goals in a 2022–23 UEFA Champions League group stage match against Barcelona. Chorý won his second title in the 2021–22 Czech First League on 15 May 2022. In April 2024, he signed a contract with Viktoria Plzeň until 2027.

On 5 October 2020, Chorý went on loan to Belgian club Zulte-Waregem, scoring four goals at the 2020–21 Belgian First Division A.

On 3 July 2024, Chorý signed a contract with Slavia Prague until 30 June 2027.

On 7 August 2025, Chorý was banned by the LFA Disciplinary commission for six matches after he hit goalkeeper Milan Heča in the crotch in the away match against Slovácko.

On 12 April 2026, in the home goalless draw with Viktoria Plzeň, Chorý received a yellow card after a tackle with Sampson Dweh. The yellow card was changed to a red card after VAR intervention, when Chorý immediately afterwards allegedly spat at Dweh while yelling at him. After the match, Chorý admitted that he had yelled at Dweh but denied spitting at him. Slavia manager Jindřich Trpišovský said he had not seen any spitting. Slavia filed a complaint in protest against the verdict. On 16 April 2026, Slavia chairman Jaroslav Tvrdík personally defended Chorý in front of the LFA Disciplinary commission. As a verdict, Chorý was banned for one match, and the disciplinary commission ruled that there had not been any intentional spitting.

On 9 May 2026 in the Prague derby, Chorý received a yellow card after he elbowed Sparta defender Asger Sørensen in the head. The yellow card was changed to a red card after VAR intervention. Slavia chairman Jaroslav Tvrdík criticised Chorý for being unable to control his behavior, and stated that he had been removed from the first team and would not play for Slavia again. On 14 May 2026, Chorý was banned by the LFA Disciplinary commission for six matches. On 23 July 2026, Tvrdík stated at the pre-season press conference that Slavia's owner Pavel Tykač ordered Chorý to return to the A team. Manager Trpišovský, captain Tomáš Holeš and midfielder Lukáš Provod supported Tykač's decision.

International career Chorý debuted for the Czech Republic senior team on 20 November 2023 in a UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying Group E match against Moldova. In an eventful 3-0 victory Chorý scored a goal, got an assist, and was fouled to earn a Moldovan player his second yellow card to reduce his side to 10 men.

On 31 May 2026, Chorý was selected in the 26-man squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
