The Good, The Bad, and The Oh-So Cheeky: U19 and U15 Football Teams Take Center Stage
Ah, the highs and lows of youth football! The U19 and U15 teams are getting quite the rollercoaster ride this season. One week they’re basking in glory, the next, well… let’s just say they’re *reassessing their life choices*. But fear not! Our U16 and U14 teams have stepped into the spotlight, with at least a teensy bit of joy to report! They say fortune favors the bold, and judging from last week, our younger teams have bolder haircuts than ever!
U19 Update: Fortune’s Fickle Finger
Over in the MLSZ National U19 feature, our teams saw some action that would make even the most resilient soap opera characters raise an eyebrow. Results speak louder than words, so here’s the lowdown:
- Bp. Honvéd FC–Várda LA: 1–0
- MTK Budapest–VTK Diósgyőr: 3–0
- Puskás Akadémia FC–Újpesti TE: 2–1
- Ferencvárosi TC–Illés Akadémia: 6–0
- ETO FC Győr–Vasas Kubala Akadémia: 1–0
- DVSC vs Paksi FC: coming soon on Tuesday!

- Diósgyőr: 16 points (7 games)
- MTK: 13 points (7 games, 4 wins, 14–7 GD)

- DVSC–Puskás Akadémia FC: 1–1

U16 Revelations: Finally a Win!
Speaking of rollercoasters, the U16 team finally broke the shackles with a glorious victory!
- Várda LA–ETO FC Győr: 3–1
What a relief—it’s about time the football gods smiled upon them! They lost again shortly after, but hey—at least they had a glimpse of victory!
U15 and U14 Strategies: Almost Alright?

Conclusion: Summing It All Up
Overall, it’s quite the spectacle, isn’t it? While some teams are sailing smoothly into the sunset, others seem to be battling the waves like a ship with no captain! One thing is for sure, though: while records may ebb and flow, the passion of the game remains unwavering, and that’s what keeps us tuning in week after week. Let’s hope the next round doesn’t make us cringe too much—fingers crossed, eh?
The U19 and U15 teams, which have performed well so far and belong to the top group, were defeated at the weekend, but luck smiled somewhat on the U16 and U14 teams. The former got their first victory in the midweek match against Győr and the U14s also came close against the Honvéd (a scene from the match on our cover photo), but in their case you can be happy that at least they are no longer without a point in the table.
