Ľubomír Tupta (born 27 March 1998) is a Slovak professional footballer who plays as a forward for Greek Super League club AEL and the Slovakia national team.

Club career

Tupta made his professional debut for Hellas Verona in a 4–0 Serie A loss to Udinese on 23 December 2017.

In January 2020, he agreed a contract extension until 2023 and joined Wisła Kraków on loan.[2]

On 5 October 2020, he joined Serie B club Ascoli on loan.[3]

In February 2021, Tupta's loan in Ascoli ended abruptly after a series of transfers that would have left him sidelined. He was immediately loaned out to Swiss Super League club FC Sion on a half-season loan per wishes of the Sion manager Fabio Grosso.

On 1 September 2022, Tupta signed with Pescara.[4] On 2 February 2023, he returned to Slovan Liberec on loan with an option to buy.[5]

On 22 February 2025, Tupta joined Polish club Widzew Łódź on a half-year loan deal with an option to make the transfer permanent.[6]

On 17 July 2025, Tupta signed a three-year contract with Greek club AEL.[7]

International career

Tupta was first recognised in a senior national team nomination when coach Pavel Hapal named him as an alternate forward for a UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying double fixture in March 2019 against Hungary and Wales.[8]

On 7 June 2024, he appeared in the list of 26 Slovak players selected by Francesco Calzona to participate in UEFA Euro 2024.
