Hungary in Global Soccer History
Thu, November 21, 12:00 to 1:45pm EST (12:00 to 1:45pm EST), Boston Marriott Copley Place, Floor: 3rd Floor, FairfieldAbstract
In the Interwar-period, soccer gained the role of one of the most popular sports and already in 1926 a professional soccer league was founded in Hungary. The specific political situation – antisemitism and economic difficulties – led to an exodus of many very talented Hungarian players to Germany, Italy, Romania, Yugoslavia, Uruguay, Argentina, Brazil and other countries. The Stalinist regime would still profit from the world-class quality of Hungarian soccer but bet on a risky game.
