ABOUT US: In 2015 the company Sport-Technik Bohemia celebrates 25 years since its foundation in 1990. The whole company profits, first of all, from the personality of its owner and general manager Milan Vopička, a former successful sportsman and national representative. During the 25 years of its existence, the company has successfully realized altogether 1, 600 so-called “turn-key” constructions in these categories: football pitches, tennis courts, multipurpose playing fields, athletic stadiums, halls, winter stadiums, plus maintenance and renovation.
A prestigious assessment of a Czech company at the ESTO Congress in Istanbul on June 5 and 6, 2014. The COMMUNITY AWARD is the award for an ESTO member as a company that in the period of two previous years realized the best project regarding the support of development of football in Europe.
The winner was our company Sport-Technik Bohemia, a member of ESTO and the Association of Synthetic Turf Football Pitch Manufacturers in the Czech Republic, headed by Mr. Milan Vopička, General Manager and President. The Association received this award for its outstanding initiative in implementing a pitch with synthetic turf according to the project VICTOR, for football youth aged 6 to 12 years in a modern hall of the training centre for football youth in the town of České Budějovice. This pitch with the top synthetic turf LANO PROFOOT MXSi20 60 with the FIFA** certification serves not only for training purposes but it is also directly lined for matches of the youngest numbered 4+1, 5+1, and 7+1.
“As for me, it´s an evaluation of my lifelong work because I have been devoting myself to sports constructions since 1960 already. I´m very much pleased that we have managed to go through in the competition of projects of big European countries. This fact has made me very happy now when I´m 72 years old,” says Milan Vopička.

COMPANY MANAGER MILAN VOPIČKA – THE PRINCIPAL INITIATOR AND ORGANIZER OF THE BRONZE STATUE OF THE LEGENDARY FOOTBALLER JOSEF MASOPUST TO COMMEMORATE HIS 80TH BIRTHDAY,
FROM THE SCULPTOR JOSEF NÁLEPA, A GRADUATE OF AN ACADEMY OF ART
“I don´t wish to have a statue!”“Pepa, it isn´t only your statue, this is also
a tribute to Pluskal, Novák, Schrojfa, to your whole football generation!”
“OK, I take it.”Only after this approval could Nálepa
create his work.
One million Czech crowns, out of which the production costs will make seven hundred. Without Milan Vopička, who has scraped up the deposit somewhere, it would be complicated. To let me know that I won´t do it for free.LN Does it function at your work as in other branches? Can some statues be made more easily and others in a more difficult way?
That goes for us too, of course.LN Into which of the two categories does Josef Masopust belong?
Making this is more difficult for me. He stands on one leg, has to have dynamics, the right inclination of the body to hit the ball well. He has to look where he wants to send the ball to. He kicks with his left leg because he told me at one of his visits to my studio that rivals didn´t expect a shot with the left leg. It was almost done already but he explained to me that the leg on which he stood was not bent at the knee enough, and I had it even more inclined. It impressed me as dynamic but it still wasn´t what it should be and I had to remake it.
All this had to be preceded by the following conversation:
“Pepa,” Milan Vopička, one of the initiators of the work, brought up carefully to the guest of honour. “What would you say to a statue?”
“I don´t want a statue!”“Come on, Pepa...”
Josef Masopust has the Gold Ball for the best footballer of Europe for 1962, and he has golden legs. Sculptor Josef Nálepa (75), a graduate of an Academy of Art, has immortalized in stone, clay, or bronze a whole crowd of Czech geniuses. LN Originally, Masopust did not agree with the statue while alive until Milan Vodička, a former hockey representative and one of the spiritual fathers of the idea about a statue in front of Juliska Park persuaded him that he had represented the generation of players in the 1950s and 1960s. How do you see this?
Go on with you... Already in the ancient world the dasher who won the Olympic Games gained I don´t know how many women and pigs, but also the right to have a statue while alive. So why not come back to this beautiful tradition?
LN How much will the statue of Josef Masopust cost?

1 The weaving technology of TenCate allows a number of synthetic turf fi bres to be combined and positioned randomly in the top layer. This patented 3-D synthetic turf clumps technology from TenCate ensures that the synthetic turf fi bres remain even more fi rmly upright, increasing ball speed and resulting in optimal ball characteristics and playing performance. Our new weaving technology makes it possible to weave the yarns into each structure and with varying distances into the pitch, thus preventing the formation of stripes. This will give the pitch a more natural appearance but will also enhance the ball behaviour.
2 The performance infi ll layer has an important function in setting the right grip, controlled rotational friction, ball bounce and shock absorption. TenCate’s engineered infi ll technology prevents compaction to support consistent play performance and meet the highest requirements on safety, comfort and end-of-life value.
3 A sand infi ll layer stabilizes and supports the fi bers and fi xates the carpet by its total weight.
4 TenCate Sine® is a new innovative woven shock-drainpad. Due to the woven 3-D structure the ideal sports technical
characteristics can be set which will remain consistent in time. Another unique feature in this shock pad is the excellent drainage properties in both vertical and horizontal directions. The woven base structure generates high strength and stability.
5 In order to offer a non-water permeable liner, TenCate has developed the TenCate Nicolon® C product line. These products can be used for water storage or as a water barrier.
6 TenCate is introducing the TenCate Accorder®. TenCate Accorder® is a 3-D reinforcing fabric of diamond shaped pockets with a closed base. The pockets are fi lled with a stone material to generate a much better stabilizing layer to simplify the subbase construction. TenCate Accorder® is already successfully applied in base constructions of artifi cial turf installations and geo-applications (e.g. road construction).
7 TenCate Polyfelt® Base Pro is a mechanically bonded continuous fi lament nonwoven made from 100% UV-stabilized polypropylene. This fabric separates the functional layers of the base construction.
