Hungary’s men host Georgia at the Puskás Aréna at 20:45 on Friday, 2 October, in Nations League B. It is the third game in an unusual four-match block compressed between 25 September and 5 October, making rotation and recovery as important a question as the starting eleven.

A short window and a 26-man squad

The MLSZ squad announcement says Marco Rossi selected 26 players for the sequence against Ukraine, Northern Ireland, Georgia and Ukraine again. Dominik Szoboszlai, Milos Kerkez, András Schäfer and Willi Orban are joined by five newcomers. The official fixture list confirms the Budapest venue and kick-off; Hungary then faces Ukraine in Trnava on 5 October. Budapest event details are also in our calendar.
