Hungarian officialy is Labdarúgás, which means ballkicking literally. But everyone would understand football too, I think wrote as futball is also hungarian.

Technically in Spain we also have a native word for the sport: Balompié

Balón -> ball
Pie -> foot

Because in spanish "n" can never proceed a "b"/"p", it becomes an "m", and thus "balompié".

It's an archaic term, which coexisted with "fútbol" from the very beginning, but it completely fell out of use by the 50s

However some teams, like Betis, still have that term in their name (officially Real Betis Balompié)

There are similar things in other languages.

I studied Chinese back in the day, and I learnt that football was called zúqiú, which is literally football.

Also, when watching football narrated with greek commentary, I learnt that they call football "podospheros", literally foot sphere/ball.

First, the waffle people (Belgium) beat U.S.
And now it’s the pancake people (Holland).

This is only true because we don’t have the biggest and baddest negros that play soccer. Imagine U.S. having 8 Mbappes and 2 kobes on the field. Every country is done.
