Jakub Paur

Jakub Paur (born 4 July 1992) is a Slovak professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Niké liga club Spartak Trnava.

Club career
He grew up in Višňové, near Žilina. He is a product of the MŠK Žilina's academy. He spent his first senior years on a season-long loan at ViOn Zlaté Moravce. Back at Žilina, on 25 July 2013, he scored twice against Slovenian club Olimpija Ljubljana that sealed his side's promotion to the third qualifying round of the 2013–14 UEFA Europa League.

International career
Paur was first called up to the senior national team for two unofficial friendly fixtures held in Abu Dhabi, UAE, in January 2017, against Uganda (1–3 loss) and Sweden (0–6 loss). Paur did not appear against Uganda, and although it was expected that coach Ján Kozák would field him against Sweden, it was announced before the game that Paur has suffered an unspecified injury. Consequently, Paur was the only of the 23 called up players to not appear in either of the matches.

Personal life
Paur is married to Romana, who gave birth to his first son, Jakub, in August 2021.
