Filip Blažek will remain part of DAC in the coming years! The 28-year-old defender has agreed to extend his contract with the club until the summer of 2029, with an option for an additional season included in the deal. His previous contract was due to expire in the summer of 2027.

He arrived in Žitný ostrov in August 2025 and has since become one of the team’s key players. He wears the captain’s armband this season and, from his position at centre-back, has played a significant role in helping us boast the best defensive record in the league. Since joining DAC, he has made 35 league appearances, scoring twice. He has also featured four times in the UEFA Conference League and made three appearances in the Slovnaft Cup.

Blažek was born on 11 March 1998 in Skalica and began his football journey in his hometown of Kopčany. From the age of ten, he played for Senica, where he made his top-flight debut at the age of 18. In the summer of 2017, he moved to Danish side Brøndby IF in Copenhagen, before later representing Baník Ostrava. From July 2024, he played for Romanian club Rapid Bucharest, spending part of the 2024/25 season on loan at Unirea Slobozia. He also represented Slovakia at Under-19 and Under-20 level.

For Filip, extending his contract is a natural continuation of the journey he has shared with the club. “I’m very happy that we’ve reached an agreement on an extension. We had been working on it since the summer, when the first offer came in. I’m happy here, my family is happy too, and we feel practically at home. That makes us even happier to know that we can stay here for another three years,” he said after signing the new deal.

His family also played an important role in the decision. Filip recently became a father, and the prospect of moving again was not an easy one for him. “There was interest from a club in the Czech Republic, but at the same time, discussions about extending my contract at DAC were already underway. I’m very happy that we’ve reached an agreement and that I can stay here. My family and I feel at home, and moving to another country would have been even more challenging after the birth of our child. I hope we can continue producing the performances and results we’ve achieved so far.”

“During his time at DAC, Filip has shown that he is not only a quality and reliable player, but also a personality who is capable of taking responsibility and leading by example. This season, following Kacharaba’s injury, he stepped up as our captain and demonstrated his natural leadership qualities. Recently becoming a father has also marked an important new chapter in his life, further highlighting the sense of responsibility and maturity that he brings both on and off the pitch. We value his professionalism, his work ethic and everything he contributes to the dressing room as well as on the pitch. We are convinced that he is an important player for our team and a true role model within the club. He still has many good seasons ahead of him, and we are delighted to have secured his future at DAC with this contract extension,” said Jan-Pieter Martens, the club’s sporting director.
