István Csopaki (born 3 September 1983) is a Hungarian former professional footballer who played as a midfielder and striker. He represented Hungary at multiple youth levels from U16 through U21.

Career

In the first half of the 2006–07 Nemzeti Bajnokság I season, Csopaki was with Tatabánya after joining the club from fellow top-flight side Rákospalota on 15 June 2006.[1] In the second half of the season, he transferred to fellow Nemzeti Bajnokság I club Dunakanyar-Vác from Tatabánya as part of the club's efforts to avoid relegation.[2]

On 21 January 2013, Csopaki signed for Nemzeti Bajnokság III Bakony group club Újbuda after deciding against a move to Nemzeti Bajnokság II side BKV Előre.[3]

Personal life

Following his playing career, Csopaki began working as the official team bus driver for MTK in 2017, a position previously held by his father.[4] He has continued in this role into the mid-2020s, driving the squad to away matches while maintaining a close connection to the technical staff and players.[5][4]
