Euro 2024: the Hungarian national football team arrived in Germany to a huge crowd – PHOTOS
What Hungarian football fans have been waiting for has begun. The team has left for Germany to take part in the European Championship.
Until Monday morning, the players trained at the football training center in Telki, near Budapest, before having dinner at the weiler headquarters in the evening.
The team played their last preparation match on Saturday, where they beat Israel 3-0. Monday morning was still partly about regeneration, but there was also a ball training session in Telki led by national team captain Marco Rossi. Two players from the squad have not yet practiced with the rest of the team due to minor injuries, Callum Styles and Loic Nego.
After the training session, the team packed up, and the players shared photos and autographs with the children who had gathered to see them off, MLSZ said.

The team’s flight to the European Championships was slightly delayed due to the European thunderstorms. It landed at Friedrichshafen airport just after 6.30 pm, where a large group of children was waiting for the team.

Arriving in Weiler Simmersberg an hour later, the team was greeted by an even bigger crowd, meaning the locals had a way of welcoming the team.
On Tuesday afternoon, the national team will train in Weiler-Simmerberg, and the first press conference in Germany will be held at the team’s media centre.
Weiler-Simmerberg is a municipality of 6500 inhabitants in Bavaria, Germany. The national team will train and rest here between matches.
