Hungary are preparing for their upcoming campaign in the 2024 Euros

It’s Ireland vs Hungary on Wednesday, a friendly International Friendly match between two of European nations ahead of Euro 2024. The European Football Championship is about to start in some time and this is like the warm-up for the teams to test themselves against some formidable opponents of the league. Also Ireland will be having matches for the Nations League. Nevertheless, Ireland hasn’t qualified for the second round of the European Championship, but Hungary has moved to the second round with most points in the group.
