GÓL WEEKLY: THE VOICE OF FOOTBALL AND HOCKEY IN CZECHOSLOVAKIA
In an era when digital media did not yet dominate the world of sports reporting, the weekly GÓL became an important source of information for fans of hockey and football in Czechoslovakia. This magazine, published in the last century, was one of the main media outlets that followed and documented events in both sports. Goal was not only a simple collector of results and statistics. It offered interviews with players, match analysis, and even stories about lesser-known teams and their paths to success. His site thus reflected the broad spectrum of the football and hockey world. For fans, the GOAL was an integral part of their sporting lives. Before the age of the internet and social media, this weekly served as the main link between sporting events and their fans. It not only provided up-to-date information, but also a space for discussion and sharing opinions. The publication of GOL at a time when Czechoslovakia was going through political and social changes added even more importance to the weekly. Sport often served as a means of national expression and pride, and GÓL was one of the key elements in this process. Although the GOAL is no longer published, its legacy endures in the hearts of many former readers. It is a symbol of an era and a reminder of a time when sports reporting was more about the written word and paper pages than digital media and instant news.
