August 23, 2020 - Pivín 3 Jezernice 2





August 23, 2020 - Czech Republic 7th tier

Sokol v Pivíně 3 Sokol Jezernice 2 (attendance 200)

I have lost track how many times that I have been to Pivín for football over the years, but probably close to 10 times.  Pivín is a village of 730 located about 15km south of Prostějov.  I usually go to matches here a few times a year because it is easy to reach on a bike.  The local football club is called the 'Turks' and their goalie even had the Turkish flag on his jersey.  According to local legend, the name comes about when the Turkish army was here hundreds on years ago.  Apparently, they camped in the current day location of Pivín and stayed for a number of years.  Some of them might have even stayed longer, who knows?
