Marko Milosevic leaves DVSC. The 32-year-old Serbian goalkeeper arrived at our club at the beginning of 2023, saving the goal of Loki during 8 league matches and 3 cup games. He proved to be an exceptionally good team player. It is official that the goalkeeper leaves the club in hope of more playing time.
We would like to thank Marko Milosevic for everything he did for the club and wish him good luck in his future career!
On Thursday afternoon, DVSC played the first preparation match of the training camp in Turkey against Petrolul Ploiesti, which occupies the 10th place in the Romanian first division. Due to illness and smaller injury, Balázs Dzsudzsák, Balázs Megyeri, Ádám Bódi, Alexandros Kyziridis, Alexander Mojzis and Flórián Cibla were not playing out of precaution.
At the very beginning of the first half, the goalkeeper of Petrolul saved the 14-meter shot of Donát Bárány, then in the 8th minute, our homegrown striker had another chance but the ball did not find the net. Loki was dominating more, and at the end of the first quarter, the goalkeeper saved Stefan Loncar’s shot. The course of the game did not change in the continuation as well: in the 36th minute, Zsombor Bévárdi took on a free-kick from close-range and narrowly missed it, however, Benedek Erdélyi also had two perform two good saves before the break.
In the second half, our team was still dominating and playing more attractively. So, in the 59th minute, Loki took the lead: Joao Oliveira passed to Botond Vajda, who broke into the box and shot the ball to the bottom right corner from 13 meters (1-0). Later on, our team was playing better, and in the 73rd minute, Tamás Batai headed just wide of the goal. No more goals were scored during the final minutes, so it was a deserved victory for Loki. It is important to note that 7 players under the age of 21 received an opportunity to play, moreover, there was only one player over the age of 30, János Ferenczi. We will continue next Tuesday against the Polish Cracovia.

DVSC signed the 23-year-old Soma Szuhodovszki. In terms of transaction value, this signing is a record in the history of the club.
The young central midfielder was raised at MTK, then as a champion of NB II, he transferred to Kecskemét in 2021 after playing in Monor, Tiszakécske and Győr. He was a key player at Kecskemét in the previous season, securing a silver medal with the team and earning a spot in the dream team of the season as well. Overall, he has made 46 appearances in the first division and scored 5 goals in the league.
Marco Rossi, the coach of the Hungarian national team, has also noticed his great performance, due to which he received a call-up to the national team this summer. In November, he made his debut as a substitute against Montenegro in the UEFA European Championship qualifiers, which ended with a 3-1 victory for Hungary.
Soma Szuhodovszki will join the team after the winter break.
Welcome to DVSC!
Debreceni VSC reiterates our position that European football’s future well-being can only be secured through clubs working together through ECA in strong partnership and collaboration with UEFA and FIFA. This will drive our focus in light of today’s ECJ ruling on the ESL case, which in no way endorses any so-called Super League project. Below please find an ECA statement on today’s Judgment:
ECA statement on ECJ judgment
21 December 2023
European Club Association (ECA), representing nearly 500 professional football clubs across
Europe, takes note of the judgment issued by the European Court of Justice today.
To be absolutely clear, the judgment in no way whatsoever supports or endorses any form of
Super League project.
Since the legal case was brought two years ago, major progressive governance reforms have
already been put in place across the ecosystem of football in Europe and worldwide, including
new UEFA rules for competition pre-authorisation; and in particular, reforms under ECA’s
Memorandum of Understanding and Joint Venture with UEFA, and FIFA (signed in September
and March this year). Through ECA, clubs today are already at the heart of decision-making in
relation to the competitions they participate in.
In short, the world of football moved on from the Super League years ago and progressive
reforms will continue.
Most importantly, football is a social contract not a legal contract – all the recognized
stakeholders of European and world football – spanning confederations, federations, clubs,
leagues, players and fans – stand more united than ever against the attempts by a few
individuals pursing personal agendas to undermine the very foundations and basic principles
of European football.
ECA will continue to work with UEFA, FIFA and all recognized stakeholders of football to
develop the game positively and progressively – founded on the principles of sporting
meritocracy, inclusiveness, open competition and genuine solidarity. These principles are at
the heart of ECA, and at the core of the European Sports Model, on which all levels of the
pyramid benefit and prosper.
On Sunday, Loki started the final match of the year without the injured Alexandros Kyziridis, Botond Vajda, Christian Manrique and Dusan Lagator, who has been suspended due to his yellow cards. However, Debrecen fans were enthusiastic and came to Kecskemét to support the team. Among the starting XI were Alexander Mojzis, Hamzat Ojediran and Zsombor Bévárdi this time.
The pitch was in a really bad condition and the game started with the long-range attempt of Balázs Dzsudzsák in the 3rd minute. At the beginning, it was the fight that dominated. It was not easy to play football on this kind of pitch, so DVSC played in a different style and organization.
In the 12th minute, the home team had a big chance, Hamzat Ojediran had to block and Megyeri had to save the shots of Zeke and Horváth. It was quite difficult to build-up the attacks and Kecskemét was mainly dominating.
In the 24th minute, following a corner-kick, Donát Bárány shot over the goal from 16 meters, then the ball sailed over the goal following Oleksandr Romanchuk’s attempt. Towards the end of the first half, the game became more balanced, moreover, in the 36th minute, after Zsombor Bévárdi’s cross and Stefan Loncar’s header, we almost took the lead, but unfortunately, our midfielder missed the target. However, after a little scramble in the box, Márk Szécsi skillfully shot the ball from 11 meters under the crossbar during extra time (0-1). Thus, our team went on the break with an advantage.
The second half started with the attacks of Kecskemét, which were actually ineffective. There were no dangerous situations until the 60th minute, when Zsombor Bévárdi curled the ball over the goal from 15 meters. Our team was fighting and we were organized in the duels as well.
For the endgame, Andrija Majdevac came on as a substitute (later Nimród Baranyai, János Ferenczi and Máté Tuboly also came off the bench). DVSC tried to save their advantage, however, Kecskemét increased the pressure and managed to equalize in the 80th minute. At that time, Loki was playing with one man down as Alexander Mojzis got injured on the pitch, and after a cross from the left, Banó-Szabó shot the ball to the bottom left corner from 6 meters (1-1).
There were quite a few exciting situations in the final minutes as well but the score stayed the same, so the match ended in a draw.
According to the coach
István Szabó: The guys did their best. In the first half, we played better but we still conceded a goal. After the break, we played football with great enthusiasm but we made some substitutions. I feel that we deserved the draw, moreover, maybe we can say that we lost two points.
Srdjan Blagojevic: We could not see much football because of the circumstances but I’m happy as no one got injured. I asked my players to play in a simple way and it’s not that we are practicing during our training sessions. I hope that in the future the pitch will be in better condition in Kecskemét. I would like to praise my players because of their effort and energy. The result is realistic.

DVSC signed a professional contract with another young player, who has been raised at the DVSC Academy. The 18-year-old striker, Tamás Batai has already scored 8 goals in the second team of DVSC during the autumn season and made his debut in the first team at the beginning of December in Kisvárda.
Congratulations to Tamás Batai, we wish him good luck!
Due to injury, Alexandros Kyziridis and Botond Vajda were out of the squad but the others were ready to be deployed in the away game against MTK on Saturday. Thus, the technical staff had several variations, and this time Márk Szécsi was in the starting eleven.
At the beginning of the game, Loki took the initiative and in the 3rd minute, Demjén saved Domingues’ shot from 12 meters. Our team moved freshly, and in the 6th minute, the goalkeeper denied the long-range shot of Dzsudzsák as well as the close-range twirl of Donát Bárány later.
The superiority of DVSC was obvious, hundreds of fans from Debrecen cheered for the team. Our team was playing attractive football but we missed our chances. In the 22nd minute, János Ferenczi shot wide of the goal, then Demjén saved Dusan Lagator’s header. After the first 30 minutes, DVSC could have been leading, however, in the 33rd minute, MTK took the lead when converted a rebound (1-0). The score stayed unchanged until the break.
The second half started with the attacks of Debrecen, and the equalizer came in the 50th minute. Brandon Domingues deceived his defender on the left, passed to János Ferenczi, who delivered a good cross. The arriving Márk Szécsi then put the ball into the net from the centre on the long side (1-1).
Loki continued to control the game, and meanwhile, Máté Tuboly came on as a substitute (later Andrija Majdevac, Joao Oliveira and Ádám Bódi also came on). At this time, there were less chances, but in the 77th minute, Balázs Megyeri made a save after Stieber’s free-kick.
In the endgame, MTK scored again, with Stieber skilfully curling the ball into the right side of the goal from about 15 meters in the 83rd minute (2-1). Unfortunately, this goal decided the fate of the three points, even though based on the game, DVSC deserved much more. We will continue next week against Kecskemét.
According to the coach
Dávid Horváth: It is a valuable victory for us. The first half did not go the way we would have liked, so we had to make some changes during the break. We managed to succeed and finally, we could win due to a great individual performance. In the second half, we worked hard to compensate our luck in the first half.
Srdjan Blagojevic: Congratulations to MTK for the victory. It is hard to speak now because I think that considering the last period, we delivered our best performance today. The team played the way I want my team to play, but unfortunately, we lost the match. We controlled the game but we were not aggressive enough within the box. Even though it’s not pleasant to lose like this, I’m sure that we will win the next time if we play like we did today.

On Saturday evening, Loki stepped onto the pitch in Kisvárda, the second stop of the four-match away tour, supported by 200 fans from Debrecen. Due to injury, Alexandros Kyziridis and Andrija Majdevac were missing this time. The starting eleven was the same as in Zalaegerszeg.
The match started in a heavy rain and at the beginning, Loki was dominating. However, in the 17th minute, Meldin Dreskovic had to make a spectacular save to deny Ilievski’s clear-cut chance, shortly after which Christian Manrique shot wide of the goal from distance. In the 25th minute, Balázs Megyeri saved Navratil’s crashing shot but overall, there were no bigger chances and the tactical play dominated. It did not change until the break, although Ötvös hit the bar from long-range.
At the beginning of the second half, the play stayed the same and one goal could have decided the fate of the match. Loki tried to play more accurately, and in the meantime, Joao Oliveira and Oleksandr Romanchuk came off the bench (later Márk Szécsi and Tamás Batai, who made his debut in the first team, also came on), however, Kisvárda had more possession at that time.
In the 73rd minute, Donát Bárány’s shot was blocked, after which the home goalkeeper saved the header of Brandon Domingues. The endgame was more about Loki but no goals have been scored, so it stayed a draw. We will continue next week at the home of MTK.
According to the coach
Tamás Feczkó: We played in a tactical and disciplined way, we closed the spaces. Unfortunately, we were not able to finish our actions and score.
Srdjan Blagojevic: There was no high quality on the pitch today, the 0-0 draw is realistic. In the first half, the home team closed the spaces, due to which we suffered. After the break, we had more space but we could not provide more quality. We can play better and we have to play better.
