Hungary Euro 2024 squad: Who Marco Rossi is bringing to European Championship

Hungary are heading to the Euros for the third time in a row and here we look at their Euro 2024 squad...

As of 2023, Hungary have participated in four UEFA European Championships and is set for its fifth appearance in 2024.

In the 1964 European Nations' Cup, Hungary secured third place by winning their play-off against Denmark, and they finished fourth in Euro 1972.

Their most notable recent performance was in the 2016 edition, where Hungary reached the round of 16 after topping their group. This achievement marked their best result in almost forty years. Although they qualified for Euro 2020 as one of the eleven host countries, Hungary were eliminated in the group stage.

They will be looking to beat their best result when they head for the 2024 edition. The squad for the tournament was announced on May 15. Who has made Marco Rossi's squad for the Euro 2024? GOAL takes a look...

    GOALKEEPERS

    RB Leipzig's Peter Gulacsi will be relishing the opportunity to shine on the European stage this year. The 33-year-old, who is already past 50 national team caps, is undoubtedly Hungary's first-choice in between the sticks. He is expected to fully recover from his injury before the tournament.

    Standing by to take over just in case the situation demands it will be Denes Dibusz.

    DEFENDERS

    Adam Lang, Attila Szalai, Endre Botka, Willi Orban and Attila Fiola will be fighting for what could be a three or five-man defence.

    Botond Balogh and Marton Dardai will be waiting for their chance to shine as well.

    Fiola, who has undergone surgery, and Lang have been included in the squad, as both are expected to recover from their injuries before the tournament.

    MIDFIELDERS

    Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai will be a key figure in the midfield for Hungary at the Euro 2024. He is currently the highest-scoring midfielder in the national team.

    The team is fully stacked in midfield with a lot of talented players and hence, competition for places will be highest in this section of the field.

    Supporting Szoboszlai and fighting for spots in the starting lineup will be the likes of Adam Nagy, Loic Nego and Laszlo Kleinheisler.

    FORWARDS

    Roland Sallai is likely to lead the line for Hungary at the Euros. He has less than 50 caps to his name and has already netted over 10 goals during his national team career so far. Martin Adam and Barnabas Varga are experienced competitors to fight for that spot, whereas 19-year-old Zalan Vansca will also be looking forward to getting his opportunity at the continental stage.

    EXPECTED XI

    Head coach Marco Rossi is expected to field his team in a 3-4-3 formation, with Gulacsi in goal.

    Forming a solid defence at the back will likely be Botka, Lang and Szalai. In the midfield, Nego, Nagy, Szoboszlai and Kleinheisler.

    Adam, Sallai and Varga are likely form the attacking trip in the final third.

    Hungary (3-4-3): Gulacsi; Botka, Lang and Szalai; Nego, Nagy, Szoboszlai, Kleinheisler; Adam, Sallai, Varga.
