The Puskás Arená is the recently opened new national station of Hungaru that replaced the old Puskas Ferenc Stadion, which had been the home of the Hungary national team since 1953.
First plans for a new stadium were made in the mid 2000s when Hungary bid to organise the Euro 2012 Championships. Even though the bid ultimately failed, the Hungarian government kept developing plans to build a new modern stadium, though it took until 2012 for the first concrete plans to be presented.
Still, little progress was made until Budapest was selected as one of the host cities of the Euro 2020 Championships in 2014, which was done on the premise of a new stadium.
