On 1 May 2024, he suffered a shoulder injury during a training.[5] A day later the club confirmed that his shoulder must be operated.[6]

International career

Fiola made 13 appearances for Hungary at under-21 level, debuting on 7 October 2010 against Montenegro in a friendly match. On 10 September 2012, he made his final appearance for Hungary U21 against Liechtenstein, scoring his only goal for the team.[7]

On 14 October 2014, Fiola made his debut for the Hungary senior team in a UEFA Euro 2016 qualifier against the Faroe Islands as a half-time substitute for Nemanja Nikolić.[8] He went on to start the team's final seven matches of Group F, as well as both legs of the play-off against Norway.[9]

He was part of the UEFA Euro 2016 squad, [10] Making one appearance at the tournament in the 2–0 victory over Austria in the team's opening Group F match on 14 June 2016,m.[11]

He later apologized and explained that he saw her looking downwards and thought that she was on her phone and wanted to bring her attention to that they had just scored.[16]

On 26 September 2022, Fiola made his 50th appearance for the Hungarian national team in a 0–2 loss to Italy in the UEFA Nations League.[17]
