Erik Prekop (born 8 October 1997) is a Slovak professional footballer who plays as a forward for Slavia Prague.
Prekop started his career at AS Trenčín, from where he had various loan spells. In 2019 he moved to the Czech Republic, playing with Hradec Králové, Bohemians 1905 and Baník Ostrava, before signing with Slavia Prague in 2025. He made his debut for the Slovakia national team in 2025.
Prekop made his professional Fortuna Liga debut for AS Trenčín against Zemplín Michalovce on 16 July 2016. Trenčín lost the away game 2:1. Prekop came on in the 65th minute, replacing Denis Jančo.[2] While at Trenčín, Prekop played in the qualifying stages of the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League. He later played on loan at Petržalka in the Slovak second tier.[3]
Prekop signed for Czech side Hradec Králové in July 2019.[3] He scored six goals in the Czech Cup in the 2021–22 season, but was goalless in 25 league matches for his club. After making just five appearances in the 2022–23 season, all as a substitute, he left Hradec to sign for Prague-based Bohemians 1905 in September 2022.[4] Having been Bohemians' top scorer in the 2023–24 season, Baník Ostrava signed Prekop in June 2024.[5] Prekop signed for Slavia Prague in September 2025 on a three-year contract.[6] He made his debut for Slavia in September 2025 in a 3–1 win against MFK Karviná.[7]
International career
In December 2022, Prekop was first recognised in a Slovak senior national team nomination and was immediately shortlisted by Francesco Calzona for prospective players' training camp at NTC Senec.[8] He made his national team debut in 2025 in a friendly match against Greece.[6]
