In just one month, the EURO 2024 finals will kick off in Germany. Right from this moment, teams have begun to announce the list of players participating in the tournament. Hungary is the first team to identify 26 players for this year’s EURO.
On the evening of May 14 (Vietnam time), the Hungarian national team presented its preliminary list for Euro 2024, the most prominent of which is captain Dominik Szoboszlai – who is a mainstay for Liverpool.
However, according to Hungarian Football’s opinion, it is surprising that players like Balazs Toth, Palko Dardai and Zalan Vancsa are not on the list.
Hungarian football is showing a promising return. Currently, they are ranked in the top 30 in the world and will be an interesting unknown at Euro 2024. Hungary showed impressive form in the Euro 2024 qualifiers when they topped the group to make their third consecutive appearance. at this prestigious tournament.
However, Hungary’s path to conquering glory will not be easy. They will have to face fierce opponents such as Scotland, Switzerland and especially the host “tank” Germany in Group A.
Leading the Hungarian midfield is captain Dominik Szoboszlai, a star playing for Liverpool. Szoboszlai is considered one of the most interesting players at Euro 2024. Besides Szoboszlai, Hungary also possesses many other talented players in different positions such as goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi, midfielder Willi Orban and striker Roland Sallai.
Overall, the Hungarian squad is considered quite uniform. With quality people in hand, coach Marco Rossi can completely turn the Hungarian national team into a “dark horse” at Euro 2024.
