Биография

Early Life

Ondrej Duda is a Slovak professional footballer born in Slovakia, who has made a name for himself as a talented midfielder. He began his football journey at his hometown club MFK Snina before moving to FC VSS Košice, where he rose through the youth ranks and made his first-team debut at just 17 years old. His early promise was evident as he quickly became a key player for Košice.

Career

In February 2014, Duda signed with Legia Warsaw on a four-and-a-half-year deal, where he continued to develop his skills and gain valuable experience. His time at Legia was marked by a notable incident in July 2015 when he was injured by a stone thrown during a UEFA Europa League match, leading to the abandonment of the game. After two successful seasons, he moved to Hertha BSC in July 2016, where he faced challenges, including a knee injury that sidelined him shortly after joining. However, he made a memorable impact by scoring against Bayern Munich, helping Hertha secure a stunning victory.

Duda's international career began in 2014 when he debuted for the Slovakia national team. He played a crucial role in Slovakia's UEFA Euro 2016 campaign, scoring the team's first goal in the tournament. Despite facing injuries that limited his appearances, he remained a consistent presence in the national squad and was named in the squad for UEFA Euro 2024, where he scored in the final group-stage match against Romania.

Legacy

Throughout his career, Duda has achieved significant milestones, including winning multiple titles with Legia Warsaw and earning individual accolades such as the Peter Dubovský Award in 2014. As of 2025, he continues to play for Al-Ettifaq FC in the Saudi Pro League, showcasing his enduring talent and commitment to the sport.

Club career

Duda began his football career at his hometown club MFK Snina. He later moved to Košice, where he rose through the youth team ranks, making his first-team debut for the club at the age of 17 as a late substitute during a 1–0 home win against Slovan Bratislava. In the winter of 2013–14, Duda decided to not extend his contract with Košice, which would expire the following summer. In February 2014, Duda then joined Legia Warsaw on a four-and-a-half-year deal. On 30 July 2015, Duda was hit by a stone in Legia's UEFA Europa League qualifier away at Kukesi in Albania, being stretchered off and the match abandoned. The game was awarded as a 3–0 Legia victory and their opponents were fined €70,000 and forced to play their next European home match behind closed doors.

Hertha BSC

On 20 July 2016, Duda signed for Bundesliga side Hertha Berlin on a five-year deal. After being sidelined with a knee injury shortly after signing and also undergoing knee surgery in November 2016, Duda made his competitive debut for Hertha on 25 February 2017 in a 2–0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt as an 89th-minute substitute, 7 months after signing with the club. Duda famously scored against Bayern Munich, as he smashed home a cross into the roof of the Bayern net, past a helpless Manuel Neuer. Duda's goal was Hertha Berlin's second goal against Bayern, as the Slovak international inspired the Berliners to a 2–0 victory over the German champions.

International career

Duda made his international debut for Slovakia on 18 November 2014, replacing Marek Hamšík in the 59th minute of a 2–1 friendly win over Finland in Žilina. Duda scored Slovakia's first goal in their UEFA Euro 2016 campaign with an equalising goal to make it 1–1 against Wales. Slovakia went on to lose 2–1. His first goal in any of the qualifying competitions was scored in the 10th game of the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification against Malta (3–0 win), sealing the second place in the group for Slovakia. Duda was a regular member of the national team under Pavel Hapal as well as Štefan Tarkovič, although commonly unavailable due to injuries. He continued to feature under Francesco Calzona. In March 2023, following a goal-less home draw versus Luxembourg, Erik Farkaš of Denník Šport wrote critically of Duda's overall national team performances arguing that despite prime age of 28 years, he did not appear capable of replacing Marek Hamšík after his international retirement in creativity and game organisation, though he was often fitted into the position by multiple experts. On 7 June 2024, he was named in Francesco Calzona's 26-man Slovakia squad for UEFA Euro 2024. On 26 June, in the final group-stage match against Romania, he scored his first goal of the tournament from an assist by Juraj Kucka.
