Club career

Ferencváros

On 20 May 2015, Ferencváros beat Videoton 4–0 at the Groupama Arena in the 2014–15 Magyar Kupa Final.[2]

On 16 June 2020, he became champion with Ferencváros by beating Honvéd at the Hidegkuti Nándor Stadion on the 30th match day of the 2019–20 Nemzeti Bajnokság I season.[3]

On 29 September 2020, he was member of the Ferencváros team which qualified for the 2020–21 UEFA Champions League group stage after beating Molde on 3–3 aggregate (away goals) at the Groupama Aréna.[4]

On 20 April 2021, he won the 2020–21 Nemzeti Bajnokság I season with Ferencváros by beating archrival Újpest 3–0 at the Groupama Arena. The goals were scored by Myrto Uzuni (3rd and 77th minute) and Tokmac Nguen (30th minute).[5]

On 5 May 2023, he won the 2022–23 Nemzeti Bajnokság I with Ferencváros, after Kecskemét lost 1–0 to Honvéd at the Bozsik Aréna on the 30th matchday.[6][7]

On 20 April 2024, the Ferencváros–Kisvárda tie ended with a goalless draw at the Groupama Aréna on the 29th match day of the 2023–24 Nemzeti Bajnokság I season[8] which meant that Ferencváros won their 35th championship.[9][10]

On 15 May 2024, Ferencváros were defeated by Paks 2–0 in the 2024 Magyar Kupa Final at the Puskás Aréna.[11][12]

International career

Dibusz made his first appearance for the Hungary national football team in a UEFA Euro 2016 qualifier against the Faroe Islands, keeping a clean sheet in the 1–0 win.[13]

Dibusz was selected for Hungary's UEFA Euro 2016 squad,[14] serving as third-choice goalkeeper behind Gábor Király and Péter Gulácsi.[15]

On 1 June 2021, Dibusz was included in the final 26-man squad to represent Hungary at the rescheduled UEFA Euro 2020 tournament,[16] again serving as back-up, this time to Gulácsi who had inherited the number 1 jersey from the retired Király.[17]

Gulácsi's cruciate ligament injury in October 2022 saw Dibusz take his place in the Hungarian goal for the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying campaign, with the Magyars going unbeaten throughout 2023.[18] He played eight matches during the Euro 2024 qualifiers, conceding seven goals and keeping three clean sheets.[19]

On 14 May 2024, Dibusz was named in Hungary's squad for UEFA Euro 2024.[20] However, he was an unused substitute in all three Group A matches as Gulácsi regained his place as starting goalkeeper.[21] In an interview with Nemzeti Sport, he said that he had come home disappointed from the Euro 2024.[22]
