Hungarian Football Federation: Football development must continue
Change language:
The results of the Hungarian Football Federation supporter’s questionnaire show that people feel the standard of football needs to be raised. The comprehensive development of Hungarian football continues, creating the opportunity for young talent to flourish.
At its meeting on Thursday the presidency of the Hungarian Football Federation was given a flash report on the results of the questionnaire initiated by the federation in mid-February and which was completed by 30,000 football fans in less than two weeks. Feedback is important for the federation decision-makers and the task for the coming weeks and months is a more detailed analysis. At first glance, it can be said that the great majority of football lovers support the MLSZ’s endeavours in incentivising the provision of playing time to young Hungarian players as well as regulating the number of foreign players. The majority also consider the development of women’s football and futsal to be necessary. The federation’s presidency considers it important confirmation that supporters feel, when evaluating football, that the most important factor is raising the standard of Hungarian domestic league matches. More detailed analysis will soon be on the official federation website, mlsz.hu.
The MLSZ has set out a comprehensive development plan covering numerous areas and considers the further development of football to be its most important task in the mid-term. The basis for this is served by practicing a higher standard of youth-football coaching, a condition of which is suitable infrastructure and a cornerstone of which is preparing and training coaches participating in the programme in accordance with international best-practices. Without the right tempo of training exercises there is no chance of a visible increase in the standard of matches, whereas the championship system must aid in providing the most promising Hungarian talent with truly competitive football all the way from youth to senior level.
