Hungary’s No. 9 Emerging as Fan Favorite at Euro 2024

Hungary may have faced defeat in their Euro 2024 opener against Switzerland, but one player captured the attention of fans – Martin Adam, the Hungary No. 9.

Adam, a 29-year-old forward representing Ulsan HD in South Korea, made a notable impact coming off the bench in the 79th minute for Milos Kerkez. Fans quickly took notice of his imposing presence, hailing him as an ‘absolute unit’.

Social media was abuzz with comments praising Adam’s physique, with one fan describing him as more of a center-back than a striker.

Switzerland secured a 3-1 victory, with goals from Kwadwo Duah and Michel Aebischer giving them the edge. Hungary’s Barnabas Varga managed a consolation goal, but Breel Embolo sealed the win for the Swiss late in the game.

Adam, who earned his Hungary debut in March 2022, has accumulated 23 caps for his national team. Despite the defeat, fans are eager to see more of the ‘absolute unit’ in action as Hungary prepares to face Germany and Scotland in the upcoming group stage matches.
