FIFG 500 FootGolf Czech Edition set for Mladá Boleslav in July 2026

Evgeniy Levchenko opened a commanding lead at the FIFG 500 FootGolf Czech Edition, finishing the men’s event’s first two rounds at 12 under par as the three-day stop unfolded at Golf Mladá Boleslav - Sand Martin’s Holes. Czech player Matej Svítek sat among the top challengers on the live leaderboard, giving the home crowd a name to chase as the competition moved through its July 4-5 scoring window.

The tournament ran from Friday, 3 July 2026 through Sunday, 5 July 2026, with a morning start on the opening day and an evening finish on the last. That schedule turned the Czech stop into a compact but full ranking event, one built to fit registration, play and travel into a tight midsummer window. The men’s leaderboard marked the competition at Golf Mladá Boleslav on July 4-5, confirming that the venue handled the competitive core of the weekend.

The setting mattered as much as the scoreline. Golf Mladá Boleslav sits about 45 km from Prague and features the championship 18-hole Sand Martins Holes course, plus illuminated practice areas and a nine-hole illuminated academy. For footgolf, that kind of golf infrastructure is the backbone of the sport’s international calendar, and it gave the Czech Edition the kind of layout that can support both top-end play and a three-day event structure.

The stop also carried real weight in the Federation for International FootGolf’s ranking system. FIFG’s 2026 competition rules place events on global, regional and national ranking levels, with FIFG 500s sitting below the sport’s top-tier majors inside the structured world-tour pathway. FIFG announced its selected 2026 Region 3, Europe, majors and FIFG 500 tournaments on 17 December 2025, and Czech Republic was among the countries chosen to host FIFG 500 events. That placed Mladá Boleslav inside a broader European circuit rather than as a one-off local showcase.

The Czech stop also fit into the country’s bigger international footprint. FIFG’s 2026 World Championship pages put Czech Republic inside the European regional and national-team pathway for Acapulco 2026, reinforcing how results in events like Mladá Boleslav can feed into the sport’s next layer of selection and competition. With Levchenko at the top and Svítek in pursuit, the Czech Edition showed how a single summer weekend can still move players, points and status across Central Europe’s footgolf map.
