Club career
editTupta 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.[1]
On 5 October 2020, he joined Serie B club Ascoli on loan.[2]
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.[3] On 2 February 2023, he returned to Slovan Liberec on loan with an option to buy.[4]
International career

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