Dénes Dibusz

Biography

Dénes Dibusz (born 16 November 1990) is a Hungarian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Nemzeti Bajnokság I club Ferencváros, which he captains, and the Hungary national team. Dibusz made his first appearance for the Hungary national football team in a UEFA Euro 2016 qualifier against the Faroe Islands, keeping a clean sheet in the 1–0 win. Dibusz was selected for Hungary's UEFA Euro 2016 squad, serving as third-choice goalkeeper behind Gábor Király and Péter Gulácsi. On 1 June 2021, Dibusz was included in the final 26-man squad to represent Hungary at the rescheduled UEFA Euro 2020 tournament, again serving as back-up, this time to Gulácsi who had inherited the number 1 jersey from the retired Király. Gulácsi's cruciate ligament injury in October 2022 saw Dibusz take his place in the Hungarian goal for the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying campaign, with the Magyars going unbeaten throughout 2023. He played eight matches during the Euro 2024 qualifiers, conceding seven goals and keeping three clean sheets. On 14 May 2024, Dibusz was named in Hungary's squad for UEFA Euro 2024. However, he was an unused substitute in all three Group A matches as Gulácsi regained his place as starting goalkeeper. In an interview with Nemzeti Sport, he said that he had come home disappointed from the Euro 2024.
