Liverpool Midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai to Lead Hungary at Euro 2024 as Youngest Captain Ever
Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai is set to star for Hungary at Euro 2024, with a variety of football stars set to take part in the tournament. Host nation Germany will kick off the tournament, with Hungary and Switzerland also in their group, ready to face off against each other later today.
Fans have been told how to pronounce Szoboszlai’s name ahead of the tournament beginning, along with other players in the competition. From Manchester City‘s Kevin De Bruyne to England‘s Bukayo Saka, each player has a specific pronunciation guide for their names.
Despite being a West Ham player for four years, Tomas Soucek’s name has also been commonly mispronounced. The correct way to say his name is "Tomaj So-check," which might come as a surprise to many football fans.
Szoboszlai’s name, on the other hand, is a bit more straightforward and has gained recognition among English speakers. It is pronounced as "Do-min-ik Sob-oss-lye," and the Liverpool midfielder is set to make an impact as he takes on the mantle of Hungary’s captain, breaking a record in the process.
Marco Rossi, the Hungary manager, has shown trust in Szoboszlai by appointing him as the youngest team captain in the history of the European Championship. The 23-year-old will lead Hungary as they aim to progress in the competition, with high hopes resting on his performance in the upcoming matches.
