Kamila Beregszasziova (born May 3, 1980, in Košice, Slovakia) is a former Slovak footballer. She played for the Slovakia women's national football team in four qualifiers at the World Cup and the European Championship. She received a great honor when she received a FIFA nomination and became the only Slovak player to be nominated FIFA World Player of the Year in 2001. Beregszasziova ranked 20th among the best players in the world.
Her talent was noticed by the well-known Czechoslovak league gunner Alojz Martinček. Beregszasziova made her debut in the senior national team rather than in the junior team,[1] when she played on August 14, 1996 even in the starting line-up of the UEFA Women's Euro 1997 qualifying match against Finland, on this occasion at the age of 16 (more precisely 16 and 103 days) she became the youngest debutant in the history of the national team.[2][3]
After making her debut at a young age, she continuously played for Slovakia from 1996 to 2001 in friendly and qualifying matches of the UEFA Women's Euro 1997 qualifying and 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup qualification (UEFA), in UEFA Women's Euro 2001 qualifying and 2003 FIFA Women's World Cup qualification (UEFA).
She scored her first goal for the national team as a teenager on September 2, 1997, when she scored a 2–0 goal in 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup qualification (UEFA) against Bosnia and Herzegovina, a goal she scored at the age of 17 years 122 earned her the record for the youngest goalscorer in the history of the senior national team. Thanks to this goal, she participated in the historically highest victory of Slovakia in Šala in the match with Bosnia and Herzegovina 11:0.[4]
Six days later, she scored her first international junior goal on September 8, 1997, in the historically first friendly junior match under 18 against the Czech Republic in Brumov, scoring the equalizing goal to make it 1:1 and at the same time being named the best player in Slovakia.[5]
She scored her first double in the senior national team jersey on April 1, 1998 in a 4-0 victory against Israel.[6] which made her the best scorer of Slovakia in the net of Israel, against whom she scored a total of 4 goals in 5 matches (two in Bat Jam, 1.4.1998 in the qualification for the 1999 World Cup in a 4:0 victory)[7] and two in April 2000 in Nitra, in the qualification of the European Championship 2001 with a 4:0 win.[8][9]
On May 1, 1998, in a 7-0 away win against Bosnia and Herzegovina in a qualifying match of the 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup, just in the 2nd minute after the opening whistle of the match, she was the first to score the fastest goal in the history of Slovakia.[10]
Between 1996 and 2001, she scored 13 goals in 22 fierce matches (qualifications) for the Slovak national team. Her international record is an average of 0.59 goals per match.
In the 2003 World Cup qualifiers, she scored four goals in one match against Bosnia and Herzegovina on 16 August 2001.[11][12] She was the best player in the match. This makes her the first player in history to score a "goal poker" for Slovakia.[13]
