Former U.S. international Luis Gil has been starting for Czech second division club Viktoria Zizkov in preseason.

Gil, 25, played seven seasons in MLS and two in Liga MX. He spent 2018 with the Houston Dynamo, playing 272 minutes in 12 games. He played for the USA at the 2013 Under-20 World Cup and earned caps for the USA in 2014 and 2015.

Prague-based Viktoria Zizkov won the Czechoslovak First League title in the 1927–28 season but has not played in the Czech top flight since 2012. It opens its league season in the Fortuna národní liga Saturday at Pardubice.
