MEDIA TRAIL 2017–2025

Press coverage.

Nine years of work cannot be captured in a single sentence. They show up in dozens of small mentions — in the municipal newsletter, on sports institutions' websites, in tournament summary reports. Here is what we found in public archives.

Most entries come from Dobřanské listy (the Dobřany municipal newsletter, archive 2017–2025). The club has not actively pitched national media — that is on the roadmap. If you know of a piece that belongs here, let us know.
