Fidesz billionaire, one of Hungary’s richest, builds a stadium in Slovakia

The reconstruction of the Komárom football stadium will start as early as May 2023, the local club announced on its Facebook page. The club reported that the contractor will have 15 months to complete the works. And this contractor is someone who might not be unfamiliar to Hungarians.

The Komárom football team is in third place in the Slovakian second division. The team is coached by Miklós Radványi, who has also held jobs in Hungary, Telex reports.

“We have been waiting for this day for a long time. The city of Komárom deserves a modern sports complex that meets the expectations of both professionals and the general public. I am glad that we have passed the very difficult stage of selecting the contractor,”

said György Baráth, President of FC Komárno.

“The renovation was hampered by several obstacles, including the fact that the club received the funds from the Hungarian government, but the stadium was owned by the municipality,” napunk.sk reports.

Now the obstacles have been removed. The EUR 11 million project was won by a consortium of five bidders, one of whose members is a company linked to the family of Lőrinc Mészáros, Fejér-B.Á.L. Építő és Szolgáltató Zrt. The company usually wins public procurement contracts in Hungary too, Telex adds.
