Dániel Gazdag is poised to represent Hungary on the grand stage of Euro 2024, marking a significant milestone for both the player and his club, Philadelphia Union. The dynamic midfielder has been called up to the Hungarian national team for their Euro 2024 campaign, making him the first active Union player to achieve this honor while currently with the team.
This call-up represents Gazdag’s second opportunity to feature in a Euro tournament, having previously been selected for the squad in 2020. Unfortunately, an injury prevented him from participating on that occasion. Now, fully fit and in exceptional form, Gazdag is ready to contribute to Hungary’s efforts in Group A. He brings valuable experience to the national team, having earned 24 senior international caps and scored four goals for Hungary to date. His international journey includes notable moments in World Cup qualifiers and UEFA Nations League matches, including a goal against England in 2022.
Gazdag’s selection for Hungary Euro 2024 comes on the heels of another personal achievement: becoming Philadelphia Union’s all-time leading goal scorer. This accomplishment underscores his consistent performance and vital role for his club. Since joining the Union in 2021, Gazdag has played in 99 games, starting 90 of them, and has impressively tallied 47 goals and 27 assists.
Hungarian fans and Philadelphia Union supporters alike will be eagerly watching as Gazdag and Hungary compete in Euro 2024 Group A. Their schedule is as follows:
Vs. Switzerland – Saturday, June 15 at 9:00 a.m. ET – (RheinEnergieSTADION)
Vs. Germany – Wednesday, June 19 at 12:00 p.m. ET – (MHPArena)
Vs. Scotland – Sunday, June 23 at 3:00 p.m. ET – (MHPArena)
Gazdag’s inclusion in the Hungary Euro 2024 squad adds an exciting chapter to his career and provides a compelling storyline for fans following both his club and country. His skills and experience will be crucial as Hungary aims to make a strong impression in this prestigious tournament.
