Groupama Arena is a multi-purpose stadium in Budapest, Hungary and the home of Ferencvárosi TC.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Groupama Arena )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Groupama Arena )〕 With a capacity of 23,698, Groupama Arena is the second largest stadium in Hungary after Ferenc Puskás Stadium. The stadium lies on the ground of Albert Flórián Stadium, the club's former stadium, which was demolished in 2013. ==History== Since 1911, Ferencváros had played their home games at Stadion Albert Flórián, originally named Üllői úti Stadion. The stadium had had a major upgrade from 1971–74, and in the 21st Century the club desired a stadium with an expanded capacity. Reconstruction of Stadion Albert Flórián was rejected for financial reasons, and plans to demolish the stadium and replace it with an entirely new structure were presented at a press conference in April 2012 by Gábor Kubatov, the president of Ferencváros. The proposed capacity of 22,600 would make it the second biggest stadium in Hungary. The new stadium would be reorientated 90° and closer to Gyáli út, with a pitch 10 cm below ground level. Corporate hospitality, a restaurant, shop and museum were all planned, along with expanded changing facilities.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Grandiózus célok a Fradinál: bemutatták az új Albert-stadion terveit - fotók )〕 Market építő Zrt won the tender to construct the stadium, with a projected cost of 13.5 billion Ft. Construction started on 27 March 2013,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Építkezés után bontás: holnap leteszik az új Fradi-stadion alapkövét )〕 with an estimated completion time of autumn 2014.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=FTC: közel 13.5 milliárd forintért építik fel a Fradi új stadionját )〕 On 24 May 2013, Balázs Fürjes, MP of the Hungarian Parliament and person responsible for the investment, announced that the stadium will be finished on time. The construction of the new stadium is expected to be completed by the fall of 2014. In 2013 there will be 5,4 billion HUF available for the project and 8,1 billion HUF in 2014. Mihály Varga, minister of national economy of Hungary, said that the sale of the estate, which will be gained by rotating the stadium by 90°, will cover the expenses of the stadium. If the construction is not completed on time, the constructor company (Market Épitő Zrt.) will have to pay 65 million HUF daily.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=FTC: Időben elkészül az új Albert-stadion - Fürjes )〕 Melinda Várkonyi said that an 82-millimetre grenade was found at the building site of the new stadium. Allegedly the shell originates from a Soviet grenade launcher from the Second World War.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=FTC: gránátot találtak az Albert-stadion bontása közben )〕 On 3 October 2013, Balázs Fürjes, MP of the Hungarian Parliament, said that the construction of the stadium is of record speed. It was quite sure that the club could start the 2014–15 Hungarian League season in the new stadium. The Ferencváros club centre was opened, where the fans of the club can take a look at the plans of the new stadium or a 3D film can be watched about the future stadium. Balázs Fürjes also pointed out that the new stadium will be a multi-purpose stadium where concerts, conferences, cultural events can be held apart from association football matches. He also mentioned that the elements of the old Albert stadium will be used for the construction of the new stadium. Therefore, it is a green investment for two reasons: for the colours of the club, and for the eco-friendly construction. The steel structure, which weighs 2800 tons, was made in Kecskemét while the concrete structure, which is 25,000 cubic metres, was made in Dunaújváros. The construction of the new stadium gives jobs for almost 2000 blue-collar workers.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rekordsebességgel épül az új FTC-stadion )〕 On 17 January 2014, new photos about the new stadium were released on the Facebook site of the Albert Stadium.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=FTC: épül-szépül a zöld-fehérek új stadionja - fotók )〕 On 18 April 2014, it was announced that a 3-metre-tall statue of Ferencváros Ballon d'Or winner Flórián Albert will be erected in front of the main entrance.
