Puskás Aréna (Hungarian pronunciation:[ˈpuʃkaːʃˈɒreːnɒ]) is afootball stadium in the14th district (Zugló) ofBudapest,Hungary. The stadium's construction started in 2017 and was finished before the end of 2019. It is an all-seater with a capacity of 67,215. TheHungarian Football Federation meets allUEFA andFIFA stadium requirements, and was awarded 4-stars by the UEFA. The stadium is built in the place of theformer Ferenc Puskás Stadium whose demolition was completed in October 2016. Both stadiums were named in honour of the former national team captainFerenc Puskás (1927–2006).[5]
In 2011, when originally budgeted, the cost of the construction of the new stadium was put at 35 billionHungarian forints.[6]
On 26 June 2014,László Vigh said that the construction of the new stadium would cost 90-100 billionHungarian forints.[7]
On 1 August 2014, the Nemzeti Sport Központ (the National Sports Center) presented the final vision of Hungary's new national stadium. The Hungarian architectGyörgy Skardelli, who was the designer of the nearby indoor arena,László Papp Budapest Sports Arena showed his original plans that did not include the demolition of the original stadium[8]
On 19 September 2014,UEFA selectedBudapest to host three group stage games and one round of 16 game atUEFA Euro 2020.[9][10]
On 19 September 2014,Sándor Csányi, the president of theHungarian Football Federation, said that the fact that Budapest can hostUEFA Euro 2020 is a big achievement of the Hungarian sport diplomacy.[11]
On 23 February 2017,János Lázár, Minister of Prime Minister's Office of Hungary, said that the cost of the stadium will rise to 190 billionHungarian forint from the previously estimated 100 billion.[12] The current budget of 190 billion Hungarian forints (EUR 610 million) is well over 100% of the original cost estimates and is far more expensive than similarly sized stadiums in Europe such asAllianz Arena inMunich orArsenal'sEmirates Stadium.[13]
In 2014, the original designs of the new Puskás Ferenc stadium was voted the best design by Stadiumdb.com which complimented the imaginative design which included an elevated running track that overlooked the pitch and had city skyline views.[14] However, by the time of construction two attempts at cutting unnecessary elements from the project scaled back the design to being football-focused because of the huge inflation of the construction budget and the desire to build a new athletics stadium in Budapest by Hungarian Prime MinisterViktor Orbán for a future Summer Olympics bid.[15][16]
On 29 June 2018, the Visitors' Centre of the Puskás Ferenc Stadium was opened.Balázs Fürjes, minister responsible for Budapest and its agglomeration, said at the opening of the centre that the new stadium would be more than a stadium. It would be a multi-purpose stadium that can hold concerts and conferences as well. He also said that preferably the stadium would host the2021 UEFA Champions League Final.[17]
On 14 December 2018, the Hungarian Association of Sports Journalists (in Hungarian: Magyar Sportújságírók Szövetsége) and the members of the communication department of theHungarian Football Federation visited the construction.[18] Current members of Toldy Construct[19] team also contributed to this project. They helped to realize specialised construction and design elements of the facade and roof.
All of the seats were mounted by 2 October 2019.[20]
Cashless catering system was installed in the new arena. In the arena only touch cards or NFC are accepted.[21]
Only 500 parking spaces were created around the new stadium. Therefore, it is advisable to arrive at the arena by using public transport.[22]
On 15 November 2019 the arena was opened by the match Hungary-Uruguay. The idea to invite the Uruguay national football team came from Károly Jankovics who is the leader of the Hungarian community inMontevideo.[23]
All of the tickets were sold for the opening match against Uruguay. In the first three days only the members of the Supporters' Club of the Hungarian Football Federation could purchase the tickets.[24]
Although the opening match was planned to be the last match ofZoltán Gera, he did not play at the opening match, as he said that his condition would not make it possible to play against Uruguay.[25][26] Uruguay won the game, 2–1.[27]
In 2020, due toCOVID-19 pandemic in Europe, the2020 UEFA Super Cup matches was moved fromEstádio do Dragão,Porto, Portugal to Budapest, Hungary.
On 31 May 2023,A.S. Roma andSevilla FC played in the2023 UEFA Europa League final with Sevilla winning a 4–1 penalty shootout after a 1–1 draw.[28][29]
On 4 February 2025, the ventillator system caught fire on the sixth floor. A total of 25 fire engine trucks arrived at the scene and extinguished the fire.[30]
