Hungary U21 host Lithuania at the Új Hidegkuti Nándor Stadium on 1 October from 19:00. According to the Hungarian FA squad announcement, Antal Németh selected 25 players: nine are first-time U21 call-ups, while ten were born in 2006 or 2007.
A result and a transition
The Lithuania game is both a qualifier and a test of a changing generation. Six age-eligible players have moved into the senior Hungary squad, so the newcomers must prove themselves immediately in a competitive match. For Zsombor Gruber and his teammates, this is the final home stop of the current three-game international period before the campaign concludes in Turkey on 6 October.
Ticketing and family information is collected in BSR’s earlier matchday guide.
