US Ambassador supports Hungary in Euro 2016

The Hungarian national football team will play its first match against neighboring Austria tomorrow at 18:00 CET

US Ambassador to Hungary Colleen Bell has thrown her support behind the Hungarian national football team at the 2016 UEFA European Championship.

In a video uploaded to the US embassy’s Facebook page, Bell, dressed in the Hungarian football colors, voiced her backing at the statue of the late, world-famous Hungarian footballer Ferenc Puskás in Budapest’s District III.

The clip has already been viewed nearly 250,000 times and the ambassador ended her recording with the familiar chant “Hajrá Magyarország”, or “Go Hungary!”

The Hungarian national football team will play its first match against neighboring Austria tomorrow at 18:00 Central European Time.

The national football team qualified for the European Championship for the first time in 44 years.
