The two players of DVSC, Botond Vajda and Dominik Kocsis received a call-up to the U21 national team, which is going to have a training camp in Telki between August 4 and 6. The youth national team, led by Zoltán Szélesi, is going to prepare for the European Championship qualifier against Spain.
DVSC signed the 22-year-old Yacouba Silue. The Ivorian striker arrived from Mladost Lucani, a Serbian first-division team, in the ranks of which he scored 5 goals and gave 3 assists in 32 league matches in the last season. Yacouba Silue had also played for the Austrian SKN St. Pölten, where he scored 9 goals and gave 5 assists.
Yacouba started his career in the Ivorian first division, where he became champion and Super Cup winner with his team. He was identified as a player that could play in Europe, so he decided to show his talent in Austria. Besides scoring 9 goals and giving 5 assists in the league, he also scored 1 goal in a cup match, which led him to the Serbian first division. In Serbia, he showed his ability by helping the club to achieve the highest place in the league and now he is coming to Debrecen with a winning mentality.

Dear Loki family!
The time has come to say goodbye as I’m returning to Ukraine, my homeland. I’m overwhelmed by emotions. The past two years have been incredible, and together we have achieved amazing results during this time. I will always remember this period of my life. I’ve gained a lot of positive experience both as a footballer and as a person. I would to like to thank the fans for their support and the fantastic atmosphere that they’ve created at the stadium, which have always meant a huge motivation for us. I’m really grateful to my teammates, who accepted me into this family and supported me even in difficult situations.
I would like to express my gratitude to the president and management of DVSC as well as the coaching staff. I have always had a good relationship with them. As you all know, there is war in my country. Due to this tough situation, I decided to continue my career in Ukraine. I believe that this is the right choice for me and my family. I would like to thank the management of the club and the team for their understanding and support concerning my transfer. I’m very grateful for that!
See you soon! Hajrá, Loki!

In the 27th minute, Shaghoyan’s attempt was saved by the goalkeeper of Ried, then Márk Engedi saved a one-on-one opportunity. At the end of the first half, the play was balanced and no goals were scored until the break.

On 18 July 2024, an interview with Ádám Bódi has been published on www.debsport.com, in which he expressed his opinion about leaving DVSC after the expiration of his contract.
The management of DVSC Futball Zrt. repeatedly confirms that Ádám Bódi, the homegrown player of DVSC, is still an important and renowned footballer, whose contributions to Loki are undeniable. For many years, Debreceni VSC has provided all the conditions necessary for the player’s improvement. After his unsuccessful transfer to Fehérvár, the club brought him back to Debrecen at a financial sacrifice and continued to treat him as an outstanding player in the club’s history, extending his contract multiple times.
The abovementioned interview reflects the personal opinion of Ádám, which we respect despite the fact that, unfortunately, it only partly correlates with reality.
The management of DVSC once again expresses their appreciation for Ádám Bódi’s services for the club. We congratulate him on his outstanding career in the first division and wish him good luck!
Parting ways after a long time together is emotional and challenging for both parties, but hopefully, we will have an opportunity to cooperate with Ádám in order to help DVSC in the future!
The management of DVSC Futball Zrt. does everything in its power to strengthen the team for the 2024/25 season of the OTP Bank Liga in order to serve the fans both on and off the pitch. Since we greatly need our fans’ support for a successful performance, we consider this matter closed and will continue our preparations for the upcoming season.
Hajrá, Debrecen! Hajrá, DVSC!
Erik Kusnyir, who underwent surgery because of an ACL-tear, has been welcomed by his teammates in the Austrian training camp of DVSC. He has already done the resistance training on Wednesday evening together with the others.
– It felt very good to be with my mates again, who were happy to see me. I’m happy that I could do the resistance training with them and I missed the pitch – said Erik Kusnyir. The past four and a half months have gone by slowly, but productively. However, I still need some time before I can fully return to work. I miss the energetic runs and the training sessions with the ball, but I hope that this moment will come soon.
On June 30, Ádám Bódi’s contract expired at DVSC. Even though the parties have maintained connection, no agreement has been made. Thus, the player continues his career at the second-division team Kazincbarcika.
Ádám Bódi has played more than 300 matches in the ranks of Loki, scored more than 50 goals and has written himself into the history book of our club.
We would like thank Ádám Bódi for everything he did for DVSC and wish him good luck! We hope that we will have an opportunity to continue working together at the end of his career.
