PSV Eindhoven and Hungarian national team star Balázs Dzsudzsák has agreed to be one of Fidesz’s campaign faces in the lead up to the elections in April this year, despite stating that he does not support any of the political parties, hirado.hu reports. Dzsudzsák, arguably the national team’s best offensive player, said he was willing to allow Fidesz to us his image given their promise that they would support building new stadiums in the country, adding that it’s a shame that Debrecen wasn’t able to host their Champions League matches in a normal venue. (The games were held in the dilapidated Ferenc Puskás Stadion). Given politicians’ penchant for keeping their campaign promises, don’t expect Dzsudzsák to be Fidesz’s campaign face in 2014.
