Jakub Hromada (born 25 May 1996) is a Slovak professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Liga I club Rapid București.
On 12 August 2015, Senica signed two-year loan with Hromada from Sampdoria. He made his professional Fortuna liga debut for Senica against Slovan Bratislava on 15 August 2015.[1]
On 23 June 2016, Hromada signed one-year loan with option to buy from Sampdoria.
On 20 June 2017, Hromada signed for Slavia Prague,[2] although the transfer rumours were on for most of June. At the time of the signing Hromada was expected to be at 2017 UEFA European Under-21 Championship in Poland, but had to withdraw a couple of days before its commencement, due to a knee injury.[3] On 9 May 2018 he played as Slavia Prague won the 2017-18 Czech Cup final against Jablonec.[4]
On 4 February 2024, Slavia loaned Hromada to Romanian Liga I club Rapid București until end of the season with option to make transfer permanent. He made his professional debut on 24 February 2024, in a 1-3 away loss to Politehnica Iaşi. Three weeks later, he scored his first goal in a 1-1 draw against Universtatea Craiova.[5]
On 17 June 2024, Jakub Hromada joined on a three-year contract after the club decided to pay €500,000 to Slavia Prague and sign him for a permanent deal.[6]
In March 2021, Hromada was first called up to Slovak senior national team by Štefan Tarkovič for three 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification fixtures against Cyprus, Malta and Russia.[7]
After being benched for the two upsetting ties against Cyprus (away, 0:0) and Malta (home, 2:2), Štefan Tarkovič granted Hromada his international debut on 30 March 2021 in a crucial qualifier against Russia, which could have seen Slovakia's chances of qualification practically diminish after first set of fixtures. Somewhat surprisingly, Hromada debuted in the starting-XI and saw Slovakia take a lead in the first half through a header by Milan Škriniar. He was booked with a yellow card in first-half injury time, following a foul on Rifat Zhemaletdinov.[8] Hromada was replaced after 60 minutes of play by Patrik Hrošovský. In his absence, Russia equalised through Fernandes, but Róbert Mak sealed Slovak 2:1 victory soon after.[9] After his debut, Hromada was praised for exhibition of "modern football", defensive anticipation, rebound collection, ball exportation and speed.[10]
