Hungary will have no shortage of firepower for their first major tournament finals since the 1986 World Cup after coach Bernd Storck loaded his 23-man squad with six attacking players in lineup for the European Championship in France.

Hungary, drawn in Group F with Austria, Iceland and Portugal, also included a veteran presence in midfielder Zoltan Gera, who had been a fitness doubt after leaving a recent training camp with flu-like symptoms.

German Storck also included the versatile Gerg Lovrencsics and 22-year-old defender Barnabs Bese in a squad made up mainly of domestically-based players.

Hungary kick off their campaign against Austria on June 14 in Bordeaux.
