Marco Rossi, the "incumbent" national team captain of our men's football team for many years, expressed his best wishes in a message published on his social networks. The Italian specialist singled out the Hungarian Football Association, as well as, of course, the fans.

I wish you a merry Christmas and a happy 2025! I would like to take this opportunity to welcome everyone and above all to thank everyone who stood by us and supported us in 2024

Rossi wrote in his message, to which he attached a picture with his wife. The specialist continued:

First of all, to our wonderful fans! Then I would like to thank all my players, my staff and the entire MLSZ. We have been moving together for a long time now, and important relationships have been formed that will accompany us for the rest of our lives! Finally, I wish all of us that the new year brings what we have been waiting for for 40 years!

As is known, the Hungarian national football team will play its group stage qualifying matches for the 2026 World Cup in 2025, so according to the most favorable scenario, our team's participation in the world event could be ensured even at this time next year, something that has not happened in 40 years.

The Hungarian national team will play the winner of the Portugal-Denmark NL quarter-final, Ireland, and Armenia in the four-team qualifying quartet, Index reminded.
