🌈Czech Republic and Sparta Prague midfielder Jakub Jankto has come out as gay🌈

Like everybody else,

I have my strengths. I have my weaknesses. I have a family. I have my friends. I have a job which I have been doing it as best as I can, for years, with seriousness, professionalism and passion.

Like everybody else,

I also want to live my life in freedom. Without fears. Without prejudice. Without violence. BUT with love.

I am homosexual and I no longer want to hide myself.

This takes so much courage to do in such intense and sadly often intimidating circumstances. We're all behind you Jakub 🖤💛🖤💛

La mia squadra.❤

(E speriamo che Jankto, primo calciatore di livello a farlo, apra la strada a tanti altri colleghi che non se la sentono più di nascondersi)

First match after coming out, all is well, people chanted his name when he came on in the 70th minute.

Congrats to Jakub Jankto on being brave enough to come out!

Its never easy to do especially when you play a sport that is surrounded by so much machismo.

Jakub Jankto, the Czech Republic international and Getafe midfielder on loan at Sparta Prague [and who also played for Udinese and Sampdoria in the Italian Serie A], has come out as gay. The 27-year-old is the highest-profile current male footballer to publicly come out after Josh Cavallo of Adelaide United and Jake Daniels of Blackpool revealed their sexuality in 2021 and 2022 respectively.

“I have a job, which I have been doing as best as I can, with seriousness, professionalism and passion. Like everybody else, I also want to live my life in freedom without fears, without prejudice, without violence, but with love. I am homosexual, and I no longer want to hide myself.”
