More Than Just a Stadium
MTK Budapest, also known as the Blue and Whites of Budapest, have inspired football lovers across Hungary for over 100 years. After claiming 23 Hungarian championship titles and 12 Hungarian Cups, MTK ranks second on Hungary’s all-time football leaderboard. Their home has always been right downtown, with the new stadium—opened in 2016—replacing the timeworn buildings that served loyal fans for generations. The stadium honors Nándor Hidegkuti (Hidegkuti Nándor), MTK’s legendary striker and star of Hungary’s world-famous Golden Team: silver medalists at the 1954 FIFA World Cup and victors over England at the “Match of the Century” at Wembley a year earlier. Hidegkuti wore the iconic number 9 shirt, joined by three other MTK players in that renowned lineup.
