Dominik Szoboszlai has been honoured in his hometown of Székesfehérvár with a spectacular near 200-square-meter mural.
The huge artwork has been painted on a residential block on Ligetsor, directly opposite the Vörösmarty Primary School, where Szoboszlai spent eight years as a student before his rise through the Hungarian youth ranks and eventual move to Liverpool.
Local outlet Feol describes the mural as covering an entire four-storey façade.
City communications from Székesfehérvár also stress the emotional angle: the mural is deliberately placed in the neighbourhood where he grew up, so kids walking into the same school now literally pass under an image of someone who followed their path and made it to the top.
The unveiling of the mural is tied to the Telekomosok Fesztiválja, a touring event that merges sport, music and digital culture across five Hungarian cities.
Organisers from Magyar Telekom have previously used tongue‑in‑cheek statues and stunts around Szoboszlai, but this time the tribute is unapologetically heroic and designed to be a permanent landmark in the city.
Hungary’s painful failure to reach the 2026 World Cup left their captain openly heartbroken.
Yet after playing virtually every minute of Liverpool’s gruelling 2025/26 campaign, the enforced break from tournament football may prove a blessing.
He said in early June:
“A little football detox will feel good for me now. The truth is that I still have sad thoughts [because we missed the World Cup], but if I happen to have a day with free time during a World Cup match, I might look into it, but I don’t adjust my program depending on the fact that I can watch the World Cup, because I think I’ll have better things to do,” Szoboszlai said.
So instead of dragging himself through a summer of high-pressure matches, Szoboszlai can enjoy this recognition at home, reset mentally and physically, and report back to pre-season in July with a full tank
