Club career

[edit]

Dárdai began his youth career with Seeburger SV and 1. FC Wilmersdorf, before joining the youth academy of Hertha BSC in 2012.[3][4] He made his professional debut for Hertha BSC in the Bundesliga on 7 November 2020, coming on as a substitute for Dedryck Boyata in the second minute of second-half stoppage time against FC Augsburg, which finished as a 3–0 away win.[5]

International career

[edit]

As he was born in Berlin to Hungarian parents, Dárdai was eligible to represent both Germany or Hungary internationally.[6] He represented Germany at under-16, under-17, under-19 and under-21 level, making a total of 24 appearances for the nation of his birth at youth level.[7]

On 21 November 2023, Dárdai, in an interview published by Kicker said that he had not decided which nation he would represent at senior level.[8][9] He met with Marco Rossi, the coach of Hungary, to discuss his intentions in December 2023.[10]

On 22 January 2024, Dárdai announced his decision to represent the Hungary national team at senior level, emulating his father Pál and elder brother Palkó who are both full internationals for Hungary.[11][12]

On 12 March 2024, Dárdai received his first call-up to the Hungarian national team ahead of friendy matches against Turkey and Kosovo.[13] On 22 March, he came on as a substitute for Botond Balogh in the 67th minute of the match against Turkey at the Puskás Aréna, gaining his first senior international cap.[14] Four days later, he made his first start for the team, playing the full 90 minutes in central defence as Hungary beat Kosovo 2–0.[15]

On 14 May 2024, Dárdai was named in Hungary's squad for UEFA Euro 2024.[16] In the team's opening match of the tournament, he came on as a 79th minute substitute for Attila Szalai as the Magyars were beaten 3–1 by Switzerland in Cologne.[17] On 19 June, he started against his birth nation Germany in a 2–0 loss in Stuttgart.[18] He again started in the third Group A match against Scotland on 23 June, playing 74 minutes before being replaced by Szalai.[19]

Personal life

[edit]

Dárdai is the son of Hungarian manager and former footballer Pál Dárdai, and the brother of the footballers Palkó and Bence Dárdai. Márton's grandfather was also a footballer and manager, and also named Pál Dárdai.[citation needed]
