The UN General Assembly adopted a resolution initiated by Hungary by full consensus to declare 19 May World Fair Play Day. Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó called the negotiation process a huge success, resulting in a global coalition.

The European Swimming League (LEN) has voted Gergő Zalánki the best men’s water polo player of 2023. The Hungarian star has had an impressive year, but he still has a huge challenge ahead of him in 2024: to win the Olympic gold.

Hungary beat Portugal 30–27, turning the scoreline around in the last minutes in a heroic fashion, thus making it among the 12 teams qualified for the summer games in Paris, France.

In his year-in-review interview with the Hungarian sports daily Nemzeti Sport, the Prime Minister has also made the claim that ‘the time has come when Budapest cannot further develop to any great degree without the Olympics.’
