Hungary

Short description of your team and aims at the WU19 WFCQ 2024?

Many returning national team players have already represented Hungary at the 2022 U19 WFC, and now with new, young players joining them, our goal is to qualify for the 2023 World Championship. Each and every match is extremely important to us. While the younger players have to face multiple new challenges, their fellow, more experienced teammates are always there to give a helping hand. Participation at the Finland WFC is not guaranteed for a single team; therefore, we expect tough games.
