Bendegúz Bence Bolla (born 22 November 1999) is a Hungarian professional footballer who plays as a right-back for Austrian Bundesliga side Rapid Wien.[3][4] Bolla made his senior debut for Hungary in 2021 when he was named for Euro 2020.
Club career
Wolverhampton Wanderers
On 17 July 2021, Bolla joined Premier League club Wolverhampton Wanderers on a permanent deal from Hungarian side Fehérvár.[5] He was immediately loaned out to Grasshoppers of the Swiss Super League for the 2021–22 season.[5]
Loan to Grasshopper Club Zürich
On 25 July 2021, he debuted in the Swiss Super League on the first match day of the 2021–22 season against FC Basel at the Stadion Letzigrund, Zürich. Bolla was substituted in the 71st minute by Nikola Gjorgjev.[6] On 31 July 2021, he played the entire match against BSC Young Boys at the Stadion Wankdorf, in Bern.[7] On 11 September 2021, he supplied his first assist, leading to the 1–1 equalizer by Christián Herc against FC Luzern. He shot his first goal on 26 September 2021 in a 3–1 victory over FC Sion, where he took a direct shot off of Herc's corner kick to hammer it under the bar. One week later, he scored again in a 5–2 victory over FC St. Gallen. He has since supplied two more assists and has become a mainstay in the starting lineup, usually playing on the right wing. At the end of May 2022, after a successful season, he returned to his home club.[8] In total, he played 30 league matches, of which he started in 29, shot four goals, and supplied three assists. As such, it is safe to say that he was instrumental in securing Grasshoppers' position in the top Swiss flight. After such a successful season, his loan was extended for another season.[9]
On 27 June 2022, he returned to Grasshoppers for another loan spell for the 2022–23 Swiss Super League season.[10] On 1 October 2022, he scored his first goal in the 2022–23 season against FC Zürich at the Letzigrund.[11][12] Seven days later, on 8 October 2022, he scored his second goal of the season in a 4–4 draw against FC Sion.[13][14] In an interview with Nemzeti Sport, he said that it was a good decision to stay in Switzerland because the coach remained the same and the core of the team was also preserved.[15] He continued being an important part of the squad, featuring in nearly all league matches and supplying a total of four assists throughout the season.
Loan to Servette
On 25 May 2023, Grasshoppers announced that he would return to his parent club at the end of the season.[16] On 29 August 2023, he returned to Switzerland and the Swiss Super League for another loan spell, this time at Grasshopper's rival Servette.[17] His loan will last for one season, with an option to buy.
On 3 September 2023, he debuted against BSC Young Boys in the 2023–24 Swiss Super League.[18] On 24 September 2023, he scored an own goal in a 2–0 defeat against FC Luzern.[19] Three days later, on 27 September 2023, he gave an assist to Miroslav Stevanović in a 2–2 draw against FC Winterthur.[20] On 29 October 2023, he entered the pitch in the 63rd minute and scored a goal in the 82nd minute in a 4–2 victory against Luzern at the Stade de Genève.[21][22] On 4 February 2024, he scored a goal and gave an assist to Enzo Crivelli in a 3–1 victory over FC Stade Lausanne Ouchy on the 22nd match day of the 2023–24 Swiss Super League season.[23][24] He was also voted as the man of the match.[25] He scored the winning goal in a 2–1 victory over FC Lugano on game week 24 of the 2023–23 Swiss Super League.[26][27]
On 2 June 2024, he won the Swiss Cup with Servette.[28] He was subbed on in the final minutes of regular time and missed his penalty in the penalty shoot-out.[29]
Rapid Wien
On 7 June 2024, Austrian Bundesliga side Rapid Wien announced that they had signed Bolla on a free transfer.[30]
International career
Bolla represented Hungary at youth level, making a combined 43 appearances for the under-17, under-18, under-19, and under-21 teams. He was called up to the Hungary senior team for the first time for their UEFA Nations League match with Russia on 6 September 2020, being named on the substitutes bench for the 3–2 loss.[31]
On 1 June 2021, Bolla was included in Hungary's final 26-man squad for the rescheduled UEFA Euro 2020 tournament.[32] On 4 June, he made his debut as a substitute for Gergő Lovrencsics in a 1–0 win over Cyprus.[33]
At the Euro 2020 finals, Bolla was an unused substitute in the team's 3–0 loss to Portugal and 2–2 draw with Germany.[34]
On 14 May 2024, he was announced as part of Hungary's 26-man squad for UEFA Euro 2024.[35] In the team's opening match of the tournament against Switzerland, he came on as a half-time substitute for Ádám Lang.[36] He went on to start against both Germany and Scotland as Hungary finished third in Group A.[37][38]
Personal life
Bolla 's father is László Bolla, who is the co-founder of Főnix along with Zsolt Szoboszlai, father of Hungary national football team player Dominik Szoboszlai.[39]
