The Cagliari midfielder posted the photo on Instagram. In February 2023 he became the first active player to come out

It was February 2023, Jakub Jankto, a 27-year-old former midfielder of Ascoli, Sampdoria and Udinese among others and at the time at Sparta Prague (he is now at Cagliari), made the decision to come out. “I also want to live my life in freedom. Without fears. Without prejudice. Without violence. But with love. I am homosexual and I no longer want to hide”, concluded his message posted on social media. Almost two years later he wanted to reiterate his love with another post on Instagram, in which he exchanges a kiss with his partner under the Christmas tree. A very simple message of love, wishing everyone a Merry Christmas.

Last April, in an interview with France Football, he pointed the finger at the situation, which in his opinion was still far from normal: “I am neither a different player, nor a different person – the Cagliari winger explained – even if I’m not hiding anymore. There are other homosexuals in football, I don’t care how many, but I tell them not to be afraid to declare themselves publicly, because nothing will happen after that.” he imitated Jankto.
