The Hungarian Football (MLSZ) has tightened its regulations: its new disciplinary code enforces zero tolerance for racist or discriminatory behaviour, including the use of racial insults towards gypsy people, in line with FIFA and UEFA practices and in accordance with the mandatory directive issued by FIFA in May 2025 to its member associations.

The immediate reason for tightening the disciplinary regulations is the FIFA circular issued on May 28, 2025. FIFA informed its 212 member associations that the organization’s stance against racism remains unchanged. According to the mandatory directive, all member countries must incorporate FIFA’s anti-racism provisions into their disciplinary codes with identical wording by December 31, 2025, at the latest.

During the 2025/2026 season, clubs whose supporters engage in racist or discriminatory behavior at matches — now including all forms of slurs towards gypsy people — can expect harsher penalties than before. Under the new regulations, disciplinary actions may include closing certain stadium sections or even ordering matches to be played behind closed doors.

According to the disciplinary code, it is forbidden to offend “the dignity or integrity of a country, a person, or a group of people on the basis of race, skin color, ethnic origin, nationality, social background, gender, disability, sexual orientation, language, religion, political or any other opinion, wealth, or birth.”

This means that if any violation happens during the first home match against MTK, the DVSC-Nyíregyháza match in the middle of August (already in the 4th round) or even the DVSC-FTC clash at the end of August, could potentially be played without spectators.

For this reason, our club kindly asks its supporters to strictly follow the MLSZ regulations. Thus, the major matches of the summer can be true football celebrations in Debrecen!

DVSC has started the 2025/26 championship at the home of Zalaegerszeg. Head coach Sergio Navarro started with 9 Hungarian players instead of the 5 that was “set out”. Due to suspension, Amos Youga was missing, while Fran Manzanara was out of the squad due to a smaller injury. From the new arrivals, Ádám Varga, Julien Dacosta and Josua Mejias were in the starting XI.

At the very beginning of the match, ZTE proved to be dangerous, but Ádám Varga saved Kiss’ attempt in the 1st minute. No other bigger chances were created in the 1st half and the play was stopped several times due to injuries. In the 19th minute, Donát Bárány’s header missed the target, but overall, midfield play dominated.

After a defensive blunder in the 23rd minute, Dénes took the lead for the home team: the young striker shot the ball into the bottom left corner from 6 meters (1-0). In the 37th minute, Tamás Szűcs tried to equalize, but the goalkeeper saved his 18-meter shot. In the 42nd minute, Loki was awarded a penalty as Botond Vajda was fouled within the box. Donát Bárány missed the penalty, Gundel-Takács dived and saved his shot. However, in the 44th minute, Balázs Dzsudzsák equalized with a crashing goal from 24 meters (1-1).

In the 6th minute of the extra time, Joao Victor stepped out with a ball from Bakti and converted the one-on-one opportunity from 12 meters (2-1). Thus, the teams did not go on a break with a draw.

DVSC started the 2nd half more actively, but did not have any clear-cut chances. In the 55th minute, Skribek hit the bar from a free-kick, then tried with a cross, but Ádám Varga performed a feat to deny his shot. Then, he made another huge save in the goal line to deny Csóka’s shot. Márk Szécsi and Djordje Gordic came on and then came the equalizer. In the 67th minute, Bárány Donát took a pass from Gundel-Takács and converted the one-on-one opportunity from 11 meters (2-2).

At the beginning of the endgame, ZTE took the lead again. Skribek made a great run to meet a cross from the left and headed the ball into the net from 4 meters. Ádám Varga could only punch it with his hand. Then, Gergő Tercza and Álex Bermejo made their debut in Loki (later, Gergő Regenyei as well) and our team tried to equalize again. In the 80th minute, Donát Bárány shot just wide off the goal, but in the 89th minute, he did not miss. After Botond Vajda’s great cross, he headed the ball into the left corner of the goal with a diving header (3-3). Thus, both teams earned one point at the end of the goal blitz.

The next match will be against MTK on Friday at Nagyerdei Stadium.

After the break, Donát Bárány scored again after his hat-trick on Wednesday. In the 58th minute, DVSC took the lead due to his great individual action (1-0).

Welcome to Loki!

DVSC played the fifth pre-season match in Pallag on Wednesday. The opponent of Loki was the third-division DEAC, against which they played two halves, 35 minutes each.

Even though Loki created numerous chances in the first half, it was DEAC that took the lead in the 6th minute due to Lénárt (0-1).

Bárány scored three goals: one from a penalty, one by sliding in and one with a powerful shot, setting the halftime score at 3-1.

After the break, the young players came off the bench. David Nwachukqu and Gergő Regenyei scored, while on the other side, Al-Sheraji set the final score with a free-kick goal (5-2).

In the first half, both teams led nice attacks, but there were no big opportunities. In the 15th minute, Balázs Dzsudzsák shot just wide off the goal from a free-kick. Before the break, our opponent managed to score two goal: the first one after a turmoil and second one from a great shot (0-2).
