Filip Holoà ¡ko (; born 17 January 1984) is a Slovak former professional footballer who played as a forward or winger.
At the mid of 2007âÂÂ08 season, he was transferred to Beà Âiktaà  JK in exchange of the forward Burak Yñlmaz (a promising youngster at the time) along with veteran defender Koray Avcñ plus a considerable sum of â¬5 million. Regarding the huge amount paid, and two first team regulars given to an exchange deal, both Yñldñrñm Demirören and the Beà Âiktaà  board were severely criticized by media pundits. However, Holoà ¡ko managed to blend in after a brief period of time and embarrassed many, with his miraculous performance during the 2008âÂÂ09 season. Holoà ¡ko is also well known for his goal against Fenerbahce in the second half of the season; he took the ball from his own half and later he ran through five Fenerbahce players and scored. He also scored a goal in the Turkish Cup Final in ðzmir Atatürk Stadium vs Fenerbahce, with a final score of 4âÂÂ2 to the Black Eagles.
After a prominently successful season, Holoà ¡ko had to struggle with a heavy injury on his splint bone, which occurred in the CSKA Moscow-Besiktas Champions League game (the outcome of which was a 2âÂÂ1 defeat to Besiktas). At the end of the first half of the 2009âÂÂ10 season he had only made five league appearances, scoring just a single goal. On 2 December 2010, he scored Beà Âiktaà Â' 100th goal in the UEFA Europa League and formerly UEFA Cup in a 2âÂÂ1 win against CSKA Sofia. On 13 May 2013, he scored the last ever goal at the BJK ðnönü Stadium before the stadium was demolished.
On 20 July 2015, Sydney FC announced that it had signed Holoà ¡ko as the club's international marquee on a two-year deal.
Whilst Sydney struggled in 2015âÂÂ16, Holoà ¡ko was a highlight and a fan favourite. His work ethic, speed, and goal scoring ability was much appreciated by the Sydney faithful.
In 2016âÂÂ17, Holoà ¡ko teamed up yet again with Bobô, proving clinical together in the A-League, scoring 22 goals between them and several assists.
On 8 October 2016, Holoà ¡ko scored Sydney FC's first goal of the A-League campaign, in a 4âÂÂ0 rout of local rivals Western Sydney Wanderers in the Sydney Derby, and scored a brace the following week against Central Coast Mariners in another 4âÂÂ0 win.
Holoà ¡ko finished the 2016âÂÂ17 A-League regular season on seven goals, and eight assists as Sydney FC won the Premiership with a record number of points. He scored in the Sky Blues' 3âÂÂ0 semifinal win over Perth Glory, edging him to 5th place on Sydney FC's all time goalscorers list.
On 22 May 2017, Sydney FC announced that Holoà ¡ko's contract would not be renewed, and that he had returned to Europe.
On 3 September 2005, Holoà ¡ko debuted for the Slovak senior squad in a friendly 2âÂÂ0 home victory over Germany. The same year on 16 November, he scored his first goal in a 2006 FIFA World Cup qualification play-off against Spain, ending in a 1âÂÂ1 draw.
Holoà ¡ko is married with Adelka, who gave birth to a girl, named Sophie, in May 2009.
In August 2010, they had another daughter named Claudia.
