The Hungary national football team has represented Hungary in international association football since 1902. Hungary played its first international match on 12 October 1902, losing to neighbouring Austria 5–0 in a friendly. The team is governed by the Hungarian Football Federation (Hungarian: Magyar Labdarúgó-szövetség; MLSZ) and competes as a member of the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA), which encompasses the countries of Europe and Israel.[1] As of November 2022, Hungary has played a total of 976 international matches. Hungary have played Austria most frequently, meeting the side 137 times. Of these, Hungary have won 67, drawn 30 and lost 40.[2] The Austria–Hungary football rivalry is the second-most played international fixture in football history, behind only the Argentina–Uruguay rivalry which has been played officially 194 times.[3][4]
Balázs Dzsudzsák is Hungary's most capped player with 109 caps.[5]
