Additionally, Nigerian Tosin Kehinde and Ghanaian Isaac Pappoe, currently on loan from Arau in Switzerland, are part of the squad.

Ferencvarosi finished the season at the top of the table with 69 points after 33 rounds, three points clear of second-placed Puskás Akadémia.

African players played a role in Ferencvarosi’s final-day victory. Guinean midfielder Naby Keita and Ivorian Habib Maïga started the match, while Nigerian winger Tosin Kehinde came off the bench late in the second half.
