A third defendant in the case, Ivan Sztojka, was sentenced to 20 years in prison, Hungarian news agency MTI reported.
All three defendants were found guilty of murder and causing bodily harm.
Cozma was the mainstay of Hungary’s MKB Veszprem team when he was stabbed to death in front of a club in Veszprem in February 2009. His team-mates, Serbian Zarko Sesum and Croatian Ivan Pesic, suffered life-threatening injuries in the fight that ensued with their attackers.
