The U17 national team kicked off their European Championship qualifying campaign in Turkey on Wednesday. Our boys played their opening match against North Macedonia, taking a 2–0 lead, but their opponents pulled one back and completed a comeback in the closing stages to win 3–2.
On Saturday, another tough challenge awaited the national team as they faced hosts Turkey. Two of our players were named in the starting lineup: Dávid Czinki and Hunor Hajagos both featured against a strong Turkish side. The Hungarian U17 national team went into the second half trailing by one goal, but the hosts dictated play after the break, handing Dávid Horváth's team their second defeat. This result confirms that they will compete in League B in the spring.
