While talking to the Hungarian sports daily Nemzeti Sport, Chairman of the Hungarian Football Association (MLSZ) Sándor Csányi said that, despite being disappointed that Hungary failed to qualify from their group at Euro 2024, he never had any doubt that head coach Marco Rossi should stay with the team. He also stated that he never felt any tension between the coach and the players either.

After a 3–1 loss to Switzerland and a 2–0 loss to Germany, Hungary sits pointless at the bottom of Group A at Euro 2024. However, they can still advance to the Round of 16, if they manage to beat Scotland by multiple goals on Sunday.

Although the outcome was not what Hungarian fans had hoped for, the national team’s first group match against Switzerland at the tournament in Germany was still exceptionally popular.

Ulsan HD and Hungarian National Team striker Martin Ádám has become the focus of international attention for his unusual physique after his brief appearance against Switzerland at Euro 2024.

Hungary’s performance greatly improved in the second half, but it was not enough to level the scoreline, which ended 3–1 to Switzerland. In the group’s other game Germany easily beat Scotland 5–1 in the tournament’s opening match last night.

Hungary are going to their unprecedented third consecutive European Championship after an unbeaten qualifying campaign. They are regarded as the clear underdogs against Germany, the slight underdogs against Switzerland, and the slight favourites against Scotland in their group by bookmakers. Meanwhile, England have the best chance of winning the tournament according to the bookies, ahead of teams such as France, Spain, and hosts Germany.

Marco Rossi’s men lost to the Irish team who, unlike Hungary, did not qualify for Euro 2024. The Irish scored the winner in the 92nd minute after a quick counterattack following a Hungarian corner, setting the final 2–1 scoreline.

The Hungarian midfielder, who is running a great season with Liverpool so far, has been valued even higher than Kylian Mbappé.

The Hungarian National Team, going for their third consecutive European Championship in a row, got placed into Group A. They will start their campaign against Switzerland, then face host nation Germany and Scotland, in that order.
