Career

Club career

Emerich Vogl played as a youth for Chinezul Timişoara between 1921 and 1922. In 1922, at 17, Vogl made his debut for the senior team. He played for the first team of Chinezul until 1929, winning five times Liga I with his team. In 1929, together with his team-mate Ladislau Raffinsky moved to Juventus Bucureşti . They won their unique title of champions with Juventus in their first season played in Bucharest. Vogl played for Juventus until his retirement from his playing career, in 1940.

National Team

Emmerich Vogl played for the Romania national football team between 1924 and 1934. His first match for the national team was a defeat against Czechoslovakia, in a friendly which took place in August 1924. In his third match for the national team, Vogl was named the team captain. Like Ladislau Raffinsky, his team-mate at Juventus Bucureşti, he scored his first and only goal for Romania in the last match before the 1930 FIFA World Cup, against Greece. In 1930, he was called to the Romanian squad which participated at the first FIFA World Cup, in Uruguay.[2] But the chairman of Astra Romana, a company where Vogl and his team-mate Ladislau Raffinsky were office workers, interdicted the two players to leave their workplace.[3] At the intervention of Octav Luchide, the two players eventually took the SS Conte Verde ship to Uruguay. In Uruguay, Vogl played in the both matches for Romania, against Peru and Uruguay.[4] In 1934, he was picked up for the Romanian squad which participated at the 1934 FIFA World Cup. He played in the match against Czechoslovakia, the unique match played by Romania at this World Cup. This match was also the last match of Emerich Vogl at the national team.
