The Hungary–Romania football rivalry is a competitive sports rivalry that exists between the national football teams of the two countries and their respective sets of fans.

The national teams of Hungary and Romania are longtime rivals, as the two countries are neighbours and had numerous conflicts through history.[1][2]

The first official match between the two teams dates back to 1936.

Due to the general tension of the matches between the two teams and the numerous fan incidents resulting from the general feeling of antipathy between the two countries, it can be considered one of the most bitter rivalries of the football world.

Association football

Association football

Association football, more commonly known as football or soccer, is a team sport played between two teams of 11 players who primarily use their feet to propel a ball around a rectangular field called a pitch. The objective of the game is to score more goals than the opposite team by moving the ball beyond the goal line into a rectangular-framed goal defended by the opposing side. Traditionally, the game has been played over two 45-minute halves, for a total match time of 90 minutes. With an estimated 250 million players active in over 200 countries and territories, it is considered the world's most popular sport.

Background

HungaryRomania
Hungary
HungaryRomania
Romania

While the two teams have not met often, the cause of the rivalry is a historic rivalry between the two countries.

After the end of the First World War and the Hungarian–Romanian War, the Treaty of Trianon was signed and Hungary lost Transylvania to Romania, as well as other territories to other neighboring countries.

As a result, there is still a general feeling of antipathy between both countries today, and they often use sports to fuel it, football matches being the most important as football is the most popular sport in the two countries. But this also happens in other sports too, apart from football (for example basketball, handball, polo, volleyball, etc.).

World War I

World War I

World War I or the First World War, often abbreviated as WWI, was one of the deadliest global conflicts in history. It was fought between two coalitions, the Allies and the Central Powers. Fighting occurred throughout Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the Pacific, and parts of Asia. An estimated 9 million soldiers were killed in combat, plus another 23 million wounded, while 5 million civilians died as a result of military action, hunger, and disease. Millions more died as a result of genocide, while the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic was exacerbated by the movement of combatants during the war.

Hungarian–Romanian War

Hungarian–Romanian War

The Hungarian–Romanian War was fought between Hungary and Romania from 13 November 1918 to 3 August 1919. The conflict had a complex background, with often contradictory motivations for the parties involved.

Treaty of Trianon

Treaty of Trianon

The Treaty of Trianon, often referred to as the Peace Dictate of Trianon or Dictate of Trianon in Hungary, was prepared at the Paris Peace Conference and was signed in the Grand Trianon château in Versailles on 4 June 1920. It formally ended World War I between most of the Allies of World War I and the Kingdom of Hungary. French diplomats played the major role in designing the treaty, with a view to establishing a French-led coalition of the newly formed states. It regulated the status of the Kingdom of Hungary and defined its borders generally within the ceasefire lines established in November–December 1918 and left Hungary as a landlocked state that included 93,073 square kilometres (35,936 sq mi), 28% of the 325,411 square kilometres (125,642 sq mi) that had constituted the pre-war Kingdom of Hungary. The truncated kingdom had a population of 7.6 million, 36% compared to the pre-war kingdom's population of 20.9 million. Though the areas that were allocated to neighbouring countries had a majority of non-Hungarians, in them lived 3.3 million Hungarians – 31% of the Hungarians – who then became minorities. The treaty limited Hungary's army to 35,000 officers and men, and the Austro-Hungarian Navy ceased to exist. These decisions and their consequences have been the cause of deep resentment in Hungary ever since.

Transylvania

Transylvania

Transylvania is a historical and cultural region in Central-Eastern Europe, encompassing central Romania. To the east and south its natural border is the Carpathian Mountains and to the west the Apuseni Mountains. Broader definitions of Transylvania also include the western and northwestern Romanian regions of Crișana and Maramureș, and occasionally Banat. Historical Transylvania also includes small parts of neighbouring Western Moldavia and even a small part of south-western neighbouring Bukovina to its north east.

Incidents

On 22 March 2013, during the FIFA World Cup 2014 qualification – UEFA Group D, around 5,000 Hungarian fans clashed with the Hungarian police after the game – the match was held with no spectators according to the former decision of FIFA because of the incidents of the Hungary–Israel friendly – at the Ferenc Puskás Stadium between the two teams finished 2–2.[3]

Days before a 6 September 2013 match at the Arena Națională between the two teams, during the FIFA World Cup 2014 qualification – UEFA Group D, the Hungarian fans chanted xenophobic chants aimed at Romania at matches in the Hungarian League and posted messages aiming at violence towards Romanians in online forums.[4] A part of the Hungarian fans went in Romania for the game with shirts showing the message "Hungary on Tour - Gypsyland, Bucharest 2013.09.06.".[4] Hours before the game, hundreds of Hungarian hooligans attempted devastating the Bucharest Old Town and starting fights with the Romanian police, who promptly stopped them using tear gas and brute force.[5][6] On 6 September 2013, during FIFA World Cup 2014 qualification – UEFA Group D in the Arena Națională, Romanian fans booed the Hungarian anthem and lit flares in some areas of the auditorium. After Hungary lost the match 0–3, Hungarian fans were quickly transported back home to prevent any conflict, but Hungarian fans clashed with both Romanian fans and police forces, angered by their team's crushing defeat against their biggest rivals.

For this group, Netherlands finished as first with 28 points and qualified directly for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, Romania finished as second with 19 points and qualified for the play-ofs, Hungary finished as third with 17 points, Turkey finished as fourth with 16 points, Estonia finished as fifth with 7 points and Andorra finished as sixth with 0 points and with 0 goals. For the play-off matches, Romania needed to beat Greece. Greece won the first match in Athens with 3-1 and the match in Bucharest ended with a 1-1 draw among both teams, so Greece won 4-2, qualified for the tournament and meanwhile Romania eliminated from the World Cup.

On 11 October 2014, during the UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying Group F match between Romania and Hungary at the Arena Națională, illicit banners and crowd disturbances were detected by the UEFA.[7] A part of the Hungarian fans went in Romania for the game with shirts showing the message "Hungary on Tour - Gypsyland II, Bucharest 2014.10.11., as they exactly did on September 2013. After the Hungarian anthem was whistled by the Romanian fans,[8] during the intonatation of the Romanian anthem, the Hungarian fans turned on their backs and showed obscene gestures. According to Gazeta Sporturilor, Romanian ultras were let to the Stadium without properly being searched[9] and, before the match between Hungary and Romania, threw firecrackers, lighters and steam grenades at the Hungarian fans, who responded by throwing broken chairs at the Romanian ultras. After the anthems were played, Hungarian fans broke the barriers that held their sector in the stadium closed and attempted to start a fight with the Romanian fans. The security guards (employees of the BGS Security Division[10]) brutally tried to make order in the Romanian sector and many spectators, including some innocent ones, were injured. In response, the Romanian ultras threw two security guards through a fence. According to Adevărul, the events were not far away from a cancellation of the match, that would have resulted in a 0–3 score for Hungary, because the Romanian fans used pyrotechnical tools in a huge amount. As a result of the continuous explosions of steam petards, the situation was compared with the one at the Gaza Strip.[11] Finally, the Romanian Football Federation (FRF) apologized in front of the Romanian fans because of the actions of the security guards. Despite the FRF's earlier notifications, the Romanian fans made xenophobic chants like "Afară, afară cu ungurii din țară". In return, the Hungarian fans chanted "cigányok, cigányok".

During another game, Hungarian forward Ádám Szalai had a goal disallowed for offside six minutes before the break, causing Hungarian fans to set several seats on fire. The final result was 1–1, but the match was simply a side-note to the brutal violence both on and off the pitch. Scottish referee William Collum was forced to dish out 12 yellow cards during the match, while police sprayed tear gas at fans in the stands. Both sets of supporters created a deafening roar throughout the game, letting off flares and firecrackers, to the dismay of onlooking police.[12] The UEFA started an investigation and at the end, both countries' football federations were punished.[11]

One week before a 4 September 2015 game between the two teams, the Hungarian Football Federation fined 6 first league Hungarian clubs a total of over 3 million forints for xenophobic insults by their fans directed at Romania. These incidents occurred during the first league matches Diósgyőr-Újpest 2–1, Honvéd-Puskás Akadémia 0–0, Vasas-MTK 0–1 and Videoton-Debrecen 1–0, the fined clubs were Újpest, Honvéd, Videoton, Debrecen, MTK and Diósgyőr.[13]

On 3 September 2015, one day before an UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying Group F match, Hungarian football hooligans clashed with the Hungarian police in the streets of Budapest, 16 of them being arrested.[14] Furthermore, the hotel which was hosting the Romanian team was assaulted by Hungarian hooligans.[15] Hours before the game, Hungarian fans attempted fights against the Romanian fans in the Romanian fanzone by throwing firecrackers and flares at them, but the Hungarian police forced stopped the two groups of fans from clashing.[16] Also before the game, a small group of Romanian fans supporting rival Romanian teams (Steaua Bucharest and Dinamo Bucharest) started to insult and beat each other in one of the stands. The Steaua fans responsible for the altercation (there was already tension between the Dinamo and Steaua fans due to Steaua fans deciding to wear their SUD Steaua shirts at the game instead of Romania shirts like the other over 1000 Romanian fans, the altercation started when Steaua fans misheard Dinamo fans' "Trianon" chant directed at the Hungarian fans as "Dinamo" and tried attacking them) were escorted out of the arena.[17][18][19] In return, the Hungarian fans chanted "cigányok" at the Romanian fans. The Romanian fans responded by chanting "bozgorii" at the Hungarian fans for much of the match. A few days before the match, there was a campaign by a section of Hungarians to show superiority during the rejection of the Romanian National Anthem, which was named "Ne fütyüld ki a román himnuszt!" (Which means: Do not whistle the Romanian Anthem!). However this did not happen. During the game, Hungarian fans booed Romania's national anthem with turning on their backs, showing obscene gestures, whistling all the time and lit flares and torches inside the stadium.[20] They also chanted xenophobic chants such as "cigányok" at the Romanian team and its fans for the remainder of the game, which finished 0–0.[21] After when the Romania's national anthem was booed by the Hungarian fans, during the intonatation of the Hungarian anthem, the Romanian fans turned on their backs, showed obscene gestures and shouted disgusting slogans against Hungary.

For this group, Northern Ireland finished as first with 21 points and qualified directly for the UEFA Euro 2016, Romania finished as second with 20 points and qualified directly for the UEFA Euro 2016, Hungary finished as third with 16 points and qualified for the play-offs, Finland finished as fourth with 12 points, Faroe Islands finished as fifth with 6 points (2 wins against Greece) and Greece finished as sixth with 6 points too, but due to the two Faroese wins against Greece, Faroe Islands finished as fifth and Greece as sixth and last. For the play-off matches, Hungary needed to beat Norway. Hungary won the first match in Oslo with 1-0 and the match in Budapest with 2-1, so Hungary won 3-1 and qualified for the tournament.

Adevărul

Adevărul

Adevărul is a Romanian daily newspaper, based in Bucharest. Founded in Iași, in 1871, and reestablished in 1888, in Bucharest, it was the main left-wing press venue to be published during the Romanian Kingdom's existence, adopting an independent pro-democratic position, advocating land reform, and demanding universal suffrage. Under its successive editors Alexandru Beldiman and Constantin Mille, it became noted for its virulent criticism of King Carol I. This stance developed into a republican and socialist agenda, which made Adevărul clash with the Kingdom's authorities on several occasions. As innovative publications which set up several local and international records during the early 20th century, Adevărul and its sister daily Dimineața competed for the top position with the right-wing Universul before and throughout the interwar period. In 1920, Adevărul also began publishing its prestigious cultural supplement, Adevărul Literar și Artistic. By the 1930s, their anti-fascism and the Jewish ethnicity of their new owners made Adevărul and Dimineața the targets of negative campaigns in the far right press, and the antisemitic Octavian Goga cabinet banned both upon obtaining power in 1937.
