Filip Firbacher (born 21 December 2001) is a Czech professional footballer who plays as forward for Czech National Football League club Varnsdorf. [2]

In 2018, The Guardian named Firbacher in a list of the 60 top football talents born in the year 2001. At the time, Firbacher was playing for Hradec Králové's under-19 team. [3]

In January 2024, Firbacher was punished with a 30-month ban in the Czech football for match-fixing, [4] later reduced to 18 months following an appeal. [5]

On 29 February 2024, he moved to Polish III liga club Karkonosze Jelenia Góra, signing a deal until the end of the season. [6] On 6 May 2024, the FIFA Disciplinary Committee expanded Firbacher's ban across all of its member associations, and he left Karkonosze the following day. [7]

He returned to playing in October 2024 with Varnsdorf after having the rest of his suspension waived by the Czech FA's Ethics Committee. [5]
