Danijel Popović (footballer)
Danijel Popović (6 March 1982 – 23 October 2002) was a Croatian professional footballer who played as a forward. Playing for Vukovar '91, Popović established himself as one of the most talented Croatian footballers of his generation. After impressing in the first two seasons, he was loaned to Bastia. After the transfer to Bastia fell through, Popović then joined Osijek where he played in only eleven matches before his death in a road accident in the evening of 23 October 2002. Club career Popović began his football career in the youth squad of the local club Dunav.

Vukovar
Vukovar () ( sr-Cyrl, Вуковар, hu, Vukovár, german: Wukowar) is a city in Croatia, in the eastern region of Slavonia. It contains Croatia's largest river port, located at the confluence of the Vuka and the Danube. Vukovar is the seat of Vukovar-Syrmia County and the second largest city in the county after Vinkovci. The city's registered population was 22,616 in the 2021 census, with a total of 23,536 in the municipality. Name The name ''Vukovar'' means 'town on the Vuka River' (''Vuko'' from the Vuka River, and ''vár'' from the Hungarian word for 'fortress'). The river was called "Ulca" in antiquity, probably from an Illyrian language. Its name might be related to the name of the river "Volga". In other languages, the city in German is known as ''Wukowar'' and in Hungarian as ''Vukovár'' or ''Valkóvár''. In the late 17th century, the medieval Croatian name Vukovo was supplanted by the Hungarian ''Vukovár''. In the Middle Ages, Vukovar was the seat of the great Vu ...

Hungary National Under-21 Football Team
The Hungary national under-21 football team is the national under-21 football team for Hungary and is controlled by the Hungarian Football Federation. Following the realignment of UEFA's youth competitions in 1976, the Hungarian Under-21 team was formed. The team has a modest record, reaching the last eight of three tournaments, and the semi-finals of one, but failing to qualify for eleven, including the forthcoming 2006 tournament. Since the under-21 competition rules insist that players must be 21 or under at the start of a two-year competition, technically it is an U-23 competition. For this reason, Hungary's excellent record in the preceding U-23 competitions is also shown. Olympics record UEFA U-23 Championship record * 1972: Did not qualify. Finished 2nd of 3 in qualification group. * 1974: Winners. * 1976: Runners-up. UEFA U-21 Championship record * 1978: Losing quarter-finalists. * 1980: Losing quarter-finalists. * 1982: Did not qualify. Finished 2nd of 4 in qua ...
