Born in Veszprém, Lang was signed in 2012 by Hungarian League club Győri ETO FC.

On 21 August 2016, he scored his first goal in the 2016–17 Nemzeti Bajnokság I in a 5–1 victory for Videoton over Debreceni VSC. Lang scored in the 23rd minute and was able to repeat his feat with another goal in the same match in the 56th minute.[4]

Dijon

edit

Lang signed with Dijon FCO in September 2016; his signing was registered minutes before the transfer window deadline.[5]

On 20 September 2016, he played his first match in the Ligue 1 at the Parc des Princes, Paris, France against Paris Saint-Germain F.C. in the 2016–17 Ligue 1 season. In the 15th minute he scored an own goal and the match ended with a 3–0 defeat for Dijon.[6]

CFR Cluj

edit

Lang penned a deal with Romanian club CFR Cluj on 4 July 2018.[7]

Omonia

edit

On 27 June 2019, Lang joined Cypriot club Omonia on a three-year deal.[8] In these three years, he won the Cypriot League, the Cup and the Super Cup. He also helped Omonia qualify to, and played in the group stages of the 2020-21 Europa League and the 2021–22 Europa Conference League, the first two times the club had made it to the group stage of a European competition.[9]

In January 2022, he extended his contract until Summer 2025,[10] and expressed his happiness at Omonia.[11] On 17 April 2022, he made his 100th appearance for the club, in a 1–0 home win against Ethnikos Achna in the Cypriot First Division.[9]

On 29 March 2024, he broke his leg during training.[12] He has to miss 1 month, according to the doctors of his club.

International career

edit

On 22 May 2014, Lang played his first match for the Hungary national team against Denmark in a 2–2 draw friendly match at the Nagyerdei Stadion, Debrecen.[13]

He played four times during Hungary's UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying campaign, including starting both legs of the play-off with Norway, which saw the Magyars qualify for their first major tournament finals in 30 years and their first European Championship since UEFA Euro 1972.[14][15][16]

Lang was selected for Hungary's UEFA Euro 2016 squad.[17] On 14 June 2016, he started and played the full match of Hungary's 2–0 win over rivals Austria in Bordeaux.[18] He went on to play the full 90 minutes against both Iceland and Portugal, as Hungary qualified for the knockout stage as Group F winners, unbeaten in three matches.[19][20] On 26 June, Lang played the full match against Belgium in Toulouse, as Hungary were beaten 4–0 in the round of 16.[21]

On 13 November 2016, Lang scored his first goal for Hungary in a 4–0 win over Andorra during 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification. [22]

On 1 June 2021, Lang was included in the final 26-man squad to represent Hungary at the rescheduled UEFA Euro 2020 tournament.[23] He was an unused substitute in all three of the team's Group F matches, as the Magyars lost to Portugal and drew with both France and Germany.[24]

On 14 May 2024, Lang was named in Hungary's squad for UEFA Euro 2024.[25] On 4 June 2024, he scored the equalizer in a friendly match against Ireland at the Aviva Stadium, Dublin.[26][27]

On 16 June, he started the team's opening match of the tournament against Switzerland, playing the first 45 minutes of the 3–1 loss before being substituted for Bendegúz Bolla at half time.[28] He was an unused substitute against both Germany and Scotland as Hungary finished third in Group A and were eliminated from the tournament.[29]

On 27 August 2024, Marco Rossi, the head coach of the national team, announced the squad for the matches of the 2024–25 UEFA Nations League against Germany and Bosnia and Hercegovina and Lang was not included.[30] One possible reason for his omission was that Lang did not play in his club.[31]
