On 26 September 2020, it was announced that the planning of the new stadium could start. The capacity of the new stadium will be 8,150.[1]
On 11 January 2021, the design of the new stadium was revealed by StadiumDB.[2]
In an article published by Magyar Narancs, the residents of Nyíregyháza were not necessarily happy with the construction of a new stadium during the COVID-19 pandemic.[3]
In May 2021, Épkar Zrt. and Wetland Generál Kft. signed the contract to obtain the permissions to build the stadium, to complete the design of the stadium, and prepare the construction.[4][5]
In June 2021, it was also announced that Nyíregyháza would play their home matches at the Balmazújvárosi Városi Sportpálya.[6][7] An exception was when Nyíregyháza hosted Szeged-Csanád Grosics Akadémia on the 38 match day of the 2022–23 Nemzeti Bajnokság II season at the Várkerti Stadion on 27 May 2023.[8] The reason for the move was that the Balmazújvárosi Városi Sportpálya was one the stadiums used for the 2023 UEFA European Under-17 Championship.[9]
On 23 August 2021, the demolition of the old stadium started. The main entrepreneurs were Építő- és épületkarbantartó Zrt. and NYÍR-WETLAND Generál Zrt. The construction was financed by the Hungarian government in the National Stadium Development Program.[10][11]
On 11 February 2022, the construction of the new stadium started. Ferenc Kovács, mayor of Nyiregyháza, said that the new stadium would be a UEFA category 2 stadium.[12] At the ceremony for opening the building, Tünde Szabó, Secretary of State for Sports of the Ministry of Human Resources, and Roland Szabó were also present.[13]
On 14 March 2024, the interior of the stadium was revealed.[14]
On 14 May 2024, it was announced that the stadium would be completed for the start of the 2024–25 Nemzeti Bajnokság I season.[15] According to Magyar Építők, only the turf was missing from the stadium.[16]
It was revealed by Átlátszó that the cost increased by 3 billion HUF.[17][18]
On 21 August 2024, it was announced that Nyíregyháza would be able to host Fehérvár in the new stadium.[19][20][21]
On 25 August 2024, Nyíregyháza hosted Fehérvár on the 5th match day of the 2024–25 Nemzeti Bajnokság I.[22]
On 21 September 2024, a record attendance was set in a Nemzeti Bajnokság I match against Debreceni VSC in which 8,000 specators were present.[23]
On 14 May 2021, it was revealed that the costs of the construction would be 14 billion HUF.[24]
The original cost of the construction was set to 10.32 billion HUF in order to build a UEFA II category stadium with covered stands. Surprisingly, in the fall of 2021, the winner bidder was Épkar Zrt with a 13.7 billion HUF offer. Later, the cost was modified to 19.1 billion HUF.[25][26][27]
