Tomáš Hübschman (Czech pronunciation: [ˈtomaːʃ ˈɦɪpʃman]; born 4 September 1981) is a Czech former professional footballer.

Club career

During an April 2012 Ukrainian derby, Hübschman put in a superb, man of the match performance[1][dead link‍] in midfield to help his side defeat title rivals Dynamo Kyiv 2–0, a result which drew Shakhtar level on points in the league. The previous month, Hübschmann scored his first Ukrainian Premier League goal in two seasons to help the Miners defeat Illichivets Mariupol 2–1.[2]

In July 2014, Hübschman returned to FK Jablonec 13 years after his loan spell with the club, signing a three-year contract.[3] On 5 April 2023, Hübschman's goal determined the 1–1 draw against 1. FC Slovácko, raising the record for the oldest scorer to 41 years, 7 months, 1 day of age.[4] On 30 April 2023 Hübschman's record was overcome by Josef Jindřišek.[5]

On 18 June 2024, Hübschman announced his retirement from professional football.[6]

International career

Hübschman has represented the Czech Republic at various youth levels and captained his country's under-20 team at the 2001 FIFA U-20 World Cup. He was also part of the Czech side which won the UEFA U-21 Championships in 2002.[7]

On 18 November 2001, Hübschman debuted for the Czech senior squad in 0–1 2002 FIFA World Cup qualification loss against Belgium.[8] Hübschman played for the senior team at UEFA Euro 2004 and in 2006 FIFA World Cup qualification, but was not part of main squad when the Czech Republic qualified for the latter final tournament.[citation needed]
