The Last World Cup Hungary Qualified for: The 1986 FIFA World Cup

The last time Hungary qualifed for the FIFA World Cup was in 1986. The Hungarians came to the tournament in Mexico as ‘dark horse’ favourites after an impressive qualification campaign, only to leave very disappointed after the group stage. Diego Maradona’s Argentina ended up taking home the glory—their run included one of the most memorable games in football history against England in the Quarter-Finals.
