Norbert Mészáros (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈnorbɛrt ˈmeːsaːroʃ]; born 19 August 1980 in Pápa) is a Hungarian football player. He is usually deployed as a central defender but can also play left-back.

Club career

Mészáros started playing football with his local team Pápai ELC. In 2000, his career took off when he signed for Dunaújváros FC. Other teams he played for include BKV Előre, BFC Siófok and the German team FC Energie Cottbus. Since 2005, Mészáros has played for OTP Bank Liga side Debreceni VSC.

Debrecen

On 8 September 2010, he was suspended by UEFA along with team-mate Vukašin Poleksić, as a match between Debrecen and Fiorentina in the 2009–10 UEFA Champions League was investigated for match-fixing. Both players appealed and on 5 May 2011 the Court of Arbitration for Sport announced its decision, with the ban of Poleksić being upheld and Mészáros' ban being rescinded. UEFA's evidence against Mészáros failed to prove "to the comfortable satisfaction" of the panel that he violated the rules.[1]

Mészáros won the Hungarian League with Debrecen in the 2009–10 season despite his team losing to Kecskeméti TE in the last match.[2] On 26 May 2010, Debrecen beat Zalaegerszegi TE 3-2 in the Hungarian Cup final at the Ferenc Puskás Stadium.[3]

On 1 May 2012, Mészáros won the Hungarian Cup with Debrecen by beating MTK Budapest on a penalty shoot-out in the 2011-12 season. This was the fifth Hungarian Cup trophy for Debrecen.[4]

On 12 May 2012, Mészáros won another Hungarian League title with Debrecen after beating Pécsi MFC 4-0 at the Stadion Oláh Gábor Út. This was the sixth Hungarian League title for the Hajdús.[5][6]
