History

Planning

On 8 December 2015 it was announced that a completely new stadium will be built by the end of the year 2017. László Markovits, president of Vasas SC, said that the constructions will begin in the 2016–17 Nemzeti Bajnokság I season. Therefore, the club will have to move to the newly built Hidegkuti Nándor Stadium to play the rest of the matches. The capacity of the stadium will be 5,000.[2]

On 29 October 2016, the last match was played at the stadium. Vasas SC hosted Videoton FC on the 14 match day of the 2016–17 Nemzeti Bajnokság I season. The first goals was scored by Remili in the 37th minute. However, the last goal was scored by Lazović in the 92nd minute. The match ended with a 1–1 draw in front of 5,050 spectators.[3]

On 1 November 2016, it was revealed that the new stadium will be rotated minimally. The new stadium will be perpendicular to Fáy utca.[4]

On 7 January 2017, the supporters of Vasas wrote an open letter asking for a stadium with a bigger capacity. Vasas FC backed the idea to apply for a bigger stadium.[5]

On 16 March 2017 László Markovits, president of Vasas SC, signed the contract with the Market-KÉSZ consortium. The capacity of the stadium will be 5,154 but the eastern stand can be expanded reaching a total capacity of 6,204. The construction will be finished by the summer of 2018. Markovits also said that the expansion of the stadium would postpone the constructions by 1 and half years. However, it was rumored that Viktor Orbán would support the idea to build a bigger stadium in Fáy utca.[6]
