Hungary’s football team, led by Italian manager Marco Rossi, has shown great promise in recent years, qualifying for Euro 2024 as the Group G winners. Despite not reaching the same heights as their golden era in the mid-20th century, Hungary could be dark horses at the upcoming tournament. They were unbeaten in qualifying, with standout performances from players like Barnabas Varga and Dominik Szoboszlai, who will be crucial to Hungary’s success in the tournament.
Szoboszlai, Hungary’s young captain, has been in impressive form for his club Liverpool and looks to lead his team against tough opponents in Group A, including Switzerland, Germany, and Scotland. The team has a strong defense, with experienced players like Attila Szalai and Willi Orban, providing a solid foundation for their Euro 2024 campaign. Hungary’s recent success against top teams like England and Germany in the Nations League has boosted their confidence heading into the tournament.
Hungary’s storied football history includes the golden era of the Magical Magyars, led by legendary player Ferenc Puskas, who achieved Olympic gold and World Cup runner-up status in the 1950s. Despite subsequent struggles in international competitions, Rossi believes that the current team is capable of creating their own legacy at Euro 2024. The coach has been instrumental in revitalizing Hungarian football and reigniting the passion of the fans, leading to increased support for the national team.
Hungary’s journey at Euro 2024 begins with a match against Switzerland on June 15, followed by a tough encounter with Germany. They will conclude the group stage with a game against Scotland on June 23. With a blend of youth and experience in their squad, as well as recent success against top European teams, Hungary is poised to make a mark at the tournament. Fans are eagerly anticipating their team’s performance and hoping for a successful campaign in Germany, where they aim to showcase their potential on the international stage.
