He competed in the first World Cup races in August 2004 in Nové Město na Moravě , but did not make it into the points in any competition, i.e. among the top 30. He won his first World Cup points on July 16, 2005 with 21st place in the giant slalom in Forni di Sopra . The next day he was 25th in the Super-G, with which he finished 36th in the overall World Cup in the 2005 season. At the Junior World Championships in 2005 he was eighth in slalom and in combination as well as twelfth in Super-G and 13th in giant slalom. In the 2006 season, Vecheta drove in all World Cup races, except in the slalom of Sattel , in which he failed in the second round, among the fastest 21. His best result was 13th place in the slalom of České Petrovice . In the overall World Cup he reached 20th place and thus his best overall result to date. At the Junior World Championships in 2006 in Horní Lhota u Ostravy , he was among the top ten three times: He was sixth in giant slalom, seventh in slalom and eighth in combination with 18th place in the Super-G.

In 2007 Vecheta took part in a world championship in the general class for the first time, but was mostly only able to classify in the back field. His best result was 21st place in the slalom, out of 26 runners. In the 2007 World Cup he was among the top 25 four times, dropping back to 30th overall. In the 2008 World Cup season , he came in 28th overall with four top 20 results. In the 2009 season , Vecheta scored in seven World Cup races. He was in the top 20 five times, and his best result was twelfth in the first slalom in Čenkovice . In the overall World Cup he was only 31st. At the 2009 World Championships , the Czech was ranked 18th in slalom, 24th in the super combination, 37th in the super G and 40th in the giant slalom. At the beginning of the 2010 season he achieved the 16th place in the giant slalom of Čenkovice and the following day with tenth place in the slalom his first top 10 result. In the rest of the summer he did not take part in any other World Cup races, which is why he dropped to 46th place in the overall World Cup. In the 2011 season , Vecheta started in the Czech Republic Cup only in two World Cup and FIS races in his home country. On August 7, 2011, he reached eighth place in the slalom of Předklášteří, his best World Cup result so far.
