What religion is Dominik Szoboszlai?
Dominik Szoboszlai’s personal faith has not been publicly disclosed unlike his teammate Florian Wirtz who happened to be a Christian. Sources note that the Hungarian midfielder has never spoken about his religious beliefs. Although he was born in Hungary (a country with a large Christian population), no reliable information confirms if he is Catholic, Protestant, or follows another religion. In fact, “the fact that Dominik Szoboszlai is a Christian” (or any other faith) is not disclosed to the public, so his religion remains officially unknown.
Early life
Dominik Szoboszlai was born on 25 October 2000 in Székesfehérvár, Hungary, to Zsolt Szoboszlai and Zsanett Németh. He grew up in a footballing family, his father played in Austria’s lower leagues and even coached Dominik in youth football. Szoboszlai has a younger sister, Szofi (born 2017). He started playing in the Fehérvár/Videoton youth system before his family moved to Austria so he could join the Red Bull Salzburg youth academy in 2015. In addition to Hungarian, he learned English and German during his time abroad.
Career highlights
Dominik Szoboszlai rose rapidly through the ranks at Red Bull Salzburg, making his professional debut in 2017 with FC Liefering (Salzburg’s feeder team). He soon became a regular for Red Bull Salzburg, helping the club win three consecutive Austrian Bundesliga titles (2017–18, 2018–19, 2019–20, 2020–21) and three Austrian Cups (2018–19 through 2020–21). In January 2021 he transferred to RB Leipzig (Germany) for a reported €20 million, becoming the most expensive Hungarian player at the time. At Leipzig he won back-to-back DFB-Pokal trophies (2021–22 and 2022–23).
Szoboszlai continued his rise when Liverpool signed him in July 2023 for €70 million (triggering his release clause). In the 2023–24 season he became a key midfielder for Liverpool, and in 2024-2025 season, he helped the team win the Premier League title (making him the first Hungarian to win that championship). He also earned individual acclaim, for example, he was named Austrian Bundesliga Player of the Season (2019–20) and earned multiple Hungarian Footballer of the Year awards (Golden Ball) in 2020, 2022, 2023, and 2024.
On the international stage, Szoboszlai debuted for the Hungary senior team during the Euro 2020 qualifying campaign. He scored a dramatic injury-time winner against Iceland in 2021 that secured Hungary’s spot at Euro 2020. He has since been appointed captain of the Hungary national team and continues to be a central figure for his country.
Personal life
Szoboszlai is known for being thoughtful off the pitch as well. In 2022 he donated to a children’s home charity in Hungary alongside teammate Ádám Szalai, and in 2023 he helped raise funds for a family affected by tragedy. In October 2024 he announced his engagement to Borka Buzsik (a public relations manager), and the couple married on 25 March 2025 in Budapest.
At the end of the 2024–25 season, Szoboszlai revealed that his wife was expecting their first child, and their daughter was born in August 2025. He remains private about many personal details (including religion) but is admired for his humility and philanthropy.
