Béla Kárpáti (born September 30, 1929 in Felsőgalla , † December 31, 2003 in Budapest ) was a Hungarian football player . With the national team of his home country he took part in the soccer world championships in 1954 and 1958.

Career

Béla Kárpáti began his football career in 1946 at ETO Győr . For the club, Kárpáti, who played on the position of defender, played a total of 161 times. He stayed with the club until 1955, but could not win a title, as at that time almost exclusively teams from the capital Budapest fought for the national championship title. After Kárpáti was active in Győr until 1955 , he moved to Budapest to Vasas SC, where he played together with Lajos Csordás , László Sárosi and Dezső Bundzsák , among others . With Vasas Budapest , Béla Kárpáti managed to win the Hungarian football championship for the first time in his career in 1957 , when they took first place in the table with one point ahead of MTK Húngaria, now known as MTK Budapest . In 1961 he was able to celebrate the championship again with Vasas Budapest. Furthermore, he and the club achieved several wins in the Mitropapokal . In 1964, Béla Kárpáti ended his football career and became a coach. Among other things, he coached Vasas Budapest and Videoton FC , but also briefly the Hungarian national football team .

In the Hungarian national football team, Béla Kárpáti was used 19 times between 1953 and 1958, he failed to score. From Hungary's national coach Gusztáv Sebes he was appointed to the Eastern European squad for the 1954 World Cup in Switzerland. In the tournament, however, he was not used. The Hungarian team, however, which had gone into the world championship as a huge favorite, failed in the final completely surprisingly due to the German team and thus missed the world championship title, which was believed to be safe, with a 2: 3 in the Wankdorf Stadium in Bern . After the Golden Elf , as Hungary's successful national team was called in the early 1950s, broke up as a result of the suppressed popular uprising and the flight of many top performers such as Ferenc Puskás , Zoltán Czibor and Sándor Kocsis to the West, Kárpáti also got a better chance in the national team. As one of the few from the 1954 World Cup team, he also played the 1958 World Cup in Sweden , where he was only on the squad and, as in 1954, was not used. Béla Kárpáti played his last international match in September 1958 in a 3-1 qualifying match for the 1960 European Football Championship at the Luzhniki Olympic Stadium in Moscow against the Soviet Union .
