Dominik Szoboszlai’s story: from a prefab apartment in Székesfehérvár to the world’s soccer elite – this time through the eyes of his father, Zsolt Szoboszlai.

A sincere and inspiring story of faith, perseverance, sacrifice, and the determination that propelled a talented Hungarian boy to the pinnacle of international soccer. His father tells the story of the beginnings, the first touches of the ball, the childhood years, their shared dreams, and the hardships that plagued Dominik’s journey.

The story offers a glimpse into the unique world of the father-son relationship, into family joys and traumas, childhood pranks, and the day-to-day life at Főnix Gold. It touches on the immense amount of work behind free kicks, the problems with Hungarian youth development, the dark side of the soccer world, and the price one must pay for success.

We find out how Dominik experienced his failures and successes, what the national team jersey means to him, what challenges come with living as a world-class athlete, and why the saying “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” applies to him in particular. Through these personal stories, not only does an exceptional athletic career unfold, but also a family’s unshakable faith and solidarity.

An uplifting story of passion, humility, and dreams— about how a Hungarian boy made it to the Premier League and became one of the most influential soccer players of his generation.
