Frýdek played club football in his home country for Sparta Prague, spending seven seasons with the club between 1990 and 1997. During this time he was part of championship-winning sides in the 1990–91 and 1992–93 Czechoslovak First League seasons, as well as three Czech First League titles in 1993–94, 1994–95 and 1996–97. He subsequently moved to Germany, playing for Bayer Leverkusen and MSV Duisburg. In the 1999–2000 season he returned to the Czech First League, signing for Teplice. He ceased his involvement in top-level football after the end of the 2001–02 season,[1] and subsequently played in the Czech 2. Liga for Xaverov.[2]

National teams

Frýdek made 37 appearances for national teams between his debut for Czechoslovakia in 1991 and his final match for the Czech Republic in 1997, scoring 4 goals along the way. He was a participant in the 1996 UEFA European Championship, where the Czech Republic won the silver medal.[1] Frýdek was selected in the starting lineup for the team's opening match at the tournament, against Germany, ahead of Patrik Berger.[3] He also represented his country at the 1997 FIFA Confederations Cup in Saudi Arabia, playing in the 2–1 loss against Uruguay.[4]
