Loïc Négo was born on 15 January 1991 in Abidjan, Ivory Coast. A right-back of Ivorian heritage who chose to represent Hungary internationally, he has been one of the more unusual but effective components of Hungary's national team setup — bringing African heritage and a different athletic profile to a squad predominantly built around Central European football.
His club career has been rooted in Hungary, most notably with Fehérvár FC (formerly known as Videoton), where he became one of the club's most reliable and experienced right-backs. He made over a hundred appearances for the club in the Hungarian top flight and played in UEFA Europa League qualifying rounds as Fehérvár competed in European football.
For Hungary, Négo has been a dependable right-back option, contributing to the team's defensive solidity across multiple international campaigns. He was part of the squad for Euro 2020 (played in 2021) and has been involved in the subsequent qualifying cycles that led to Hungary's historic 2026 World Cup qualification — the country's first since 1986.
A physically robust and positionally disciplined defender, Négo's profile suits Hungary's approach of remaining compact and hard to break down while looking for opportunities on the counter-attack. His longevity in the national team setup, now well into his thirties, reflects the high level of reliability he has maintained across his career.
Detailed statistical information about his later career years is limited in widely available sources at the time of writing; this profile will be updated as more information becomes available.
