Csaba Somfalvi (born 22 November 1972) is a Hungarian football manager and former professional player who played as a midfielder. He represented Hungary at youth level.
Futsal
In 2010, he undertook a new professional challenge by co-founding the Haladás futsal team, building the club from the ground up. Through sustained organizational and sporting development, the team gradually emerged as one of the leading forces in Hungarian futsal. This long-term effort culminated in a period of domestic dominance, as Haladás won the Nemzeti Bajnokság I, the top tier of Hungarian futsal, in four consecutive seasons between 2021 and 2024, firmly establishing the club as a prominent and successful presence in national competition.[1]
Personal life
Somfalvi's sons Barna and Bence are also footballers.[1]
