Pavel Bucha (born 11 March 1998) is a Czech professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for FC Cincinnati in Major League Soccer.
He made his league debut in Slavia's Fortuna Liga 0âÂÂ1 loss at Jihlava on 17 February 2018. In June 2018, he was sent back to the Slavia junior squad following his refusal to extend his contract. In July, Bucha terminated his contract with Slavia Prague on the grounds that removing him from the first team had constituted a breach of contract by the club. Immediately after, he signed a four-year deal with rivals Viktoria Plzeà Â.
On 7 February 2024, Bucha signed a contract with Major League Soccer club FC Cincinnati until 2026, with a club option for 2027.
In October 2021 he was called up to the senior Czech Republic squad and was on the bench against Belarus. He was again included in the national team squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification play-offs under coach Miroslav Koubek.
