Švancara started his football career in his native Brno, eventually playing for the local side 1. FC Brno, and, later, for several other Czech First League clubs. In 2008, his goal for FK Viktoria Žižkov in a match against Bohemians Prague was voted Czech First League goal of the year.[1]
In June 2012, Švancara, the captain of Brno, signed a two-year extension to his contract to keep him at the club until 2014.[2]
Controversy
On 22 March 2025, Švancara shouted in the home match of the 8th tier league Říčany - Cézava B to Ukrainian players from Cézava B "Táhněte zpátky na Ukrajinu čuráci" ("Go back to Ukraine, you dickheads"). Švancara later apologized on his social media.[3] According to Cézava team manager, Švancara in the second half encouraged his teammates to play hard on Ukrainian players.[4] Švancara was banned by the Disciplinary commission FAČR for two mateches and fined 150,000 Czech crowns.[5]
