Due to stage four matches as part of this summer’s Euro 2020 tournament, the Puskás Aréna has a history dating back to 1953 – but has always been linked with Hungary’s greatest ever footballer.
Travel anywhere in the world, mention
Hungary and inevitably the first
words any foreigner will associate with this nation are ‘goulash’ and ‘Puskás’.
Much like Pelé and Brazil,
Ferenc Puskás transcends genres and borders to such an
extent, his very name has become
synonymous with the country.
