Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has said that Hungary shall triumph once more in international football; its clubs will be successful, as well as the national team.
Folllowing the final of the Puskás Suzuki Cup, between Honvéd and Puskas Academy, the Prime Minister told television news channel M1 that "two Hungarian teams playing in the final shows that the pool of young Hungarian talent is slowly but surely closing the gap on other nations".
He added that Hungary would need "three or four similar tournaments every year" to increase the international ability of the players. He also mentioned the prestigious international youth tournaments organised by Vasas and Honvéd.
At the end of his interview the prime minister said that “We shall rise again in international club football; our clubs will be successful, as will the national team”.
In the Puskás Suzuki Cup for Under-17 teams, Honvéd won, Puskas Academy second, Real Madrid came third, followed by the Dutch team KRC Genk, the Romanian Academia Hagi and the Greek Panathinaikos.
