ESSMA visited this new Hungarian stadium on its pre-Summit tour on Monday January 20th. The Puskás Arena is to replace the People’s Stadium, which was completely worn-out after 63 years of service. As ambitions for EURO 2020 grew, so did the need for a new stadium. The government decided to invest 470 million euro in a new stadium, which was approved to host 4 matches during the European Championship.
The number of ESSMA Members joining us during our annual ESSMA Summit keeps growing. With around 390 participants from 35 countries this year’s edition has been the highest attend so far. The strong mix of participants proved to be very successful and provided opportunities for stadium experts to share and discuss latest developments and trends in the industry.
