Délvidék Football Team
''Délvidék'' (, "southern land" or "southern territories") is a historical political term referring to varying areas in the southern part of what was the Kingdom of Hungary. In present-day usage, it often refers to the Vojvodina region of Serbia. In the Middle Ages, like the names ''Alvidék'' ("lower land") and ''Végvidék'' ("borderland"), ''Délvidék'' referred to the Hungarian counties ( Verőce, Pozsega, Szerém, Bács, Torontál, Temes, Keve) and vassal banates ( Macsó, Ózora, Só, Szörény) beyond the Danube and the Sava. By the 18th and 19th centuries, ''Délvidék'' referred only to Bácska and Banat. After the 1920 dismemberment of Hungary, the meaning was further narrowed to only those areas of the former Kingdom of Hungary attached to the newly formed Yugoslav state. In the Second World War, the Yugoslav areas occupied and annexed by Hungary (Bačka, part of Baranja, Međimurje, and Prekmurje) were in some Hungarian sources called ''"az anyaországhoz ...

Pannonian Basin
The Pannonian Basin, or Carpathian Basin, is a large basin situated in south-east Central Europe. The geomorphological term Pannonian Plain is more widely used for roughly the same region though with a somewhat different sense, with only the lowlands, the plain that remained when the Pliocene Epoch ''Pannonian Sea'' dried out.
