Kick-off: November 16, 2025, at 16:00.

As part of Matchday 10 of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, a Hungary vs. Ireland match will take place at the Puskás Aréna in Budapest. The teams have faced each other thirteen times: Hungary won four matches, Ireland won three, and six games ended in draws. Their most recent meeting in September ended in a hard-fought 2–2 draw.

The match in Budapest will be a true battle for second place in Group F, as Portugal — unless they slip against Armenia — are almost certain to qualify directly. Hungary leads Ireland by just one point, so the outcome of this encounter will essentially determine who gets the right to compete for a playoff spot. For both teams, this is an extremely important match, as a defeat would eliminate their chances of participating in the tournament.

Ireland stunned the football world in the previous round by defeating Portugal 2–0 and showing they can beat strong opponents. Hungary has participated in the World Cup final stage five times, achieving its greatest success in 1954 when it reached the final but lost to West Germany. Ireland has taken part in three World Cups: their last appearance was in 2002, when they reached the Round of 16 and put up a strong fight. Both teams have significant experience, but their long absence from major tournaments makes this match particularly tense and decisive for both sides.
