OTP Bank Liga 2024/2025

Five homegrown players debuted this season

The 2023/24 season will stay memorable for five young, homegrown players of Debrecen as they’ve made their debut in the first division. The debut of these young players was not accidental in any way, because many of them have already been training with the first team.

The 19-year-old striker, Tamás Batai made his first appearance in the first team back in December in Kisvárda, while the 17-year-old defender, Csaba Hornyák played for the first time in NB I against Zalaegerszeg in March. During the final match against Puskás Academy, our talented goalkeeper Benedek Erdélyi (18 years old) as well as our defender Balázs Gellén (22 years old) and our midfielder Flórián Cibla (19 years old) came on as substitutes and proved that they can be counted on in the future.

It is important to highlight that considering the first division, DVSC earned the most points from young minutes this season, which is also a nice result.

Congratulations to our young players!
