Career

Club

Apollónia started her career in Szombathelyi KKA in 2016. From 2018, in addition to the youth championship, he also played a role in the adult team in the Nemzeti Bajnokság I/B. In 2019, they became gold medalists and were promoted to the Nemzeti Bajnokság I. After 3 seasons, the team was relegated to the Nemzeti Bajnokság I/B at the end of the 2021/22 season. During these 3 first division seasons, Apollónia played little in the senior team, playing mostly in the club's youth teams.[1] From the 2022/23 season, she became a key player for the senior team, winning bronze medals in 2023 and gold medals in 2024 in the Nemzeti Bajnokság I/B and advancing to Nemzeti Bajnokság I. She scored 74 goals in the 2022/23 season and 121 goals in the 2023/23 season. In the summer of 2025, she transferred to Esztergomi KC, which finished third in the previous championship and therefore competed in the EHF European League.[2]

National team

He was included in the large squad of the 2024 European Women's Handball Championship,[3] but in the end he will not become a member of the narrow squad. She made her debut for the Hungarian women's adult national team in Budapest in March 2025 in a warm-up match against the Ukrainian national team, in which she scored 1 goals.[4]
