5. PANCHO ARENA, HUNGARY.

The stadium is the home stadium of Puskás Akadémia FC.
The stadium was opened on the 21st of April 2014 when the final of Puskás Cup was played between Puskás Akadémia and Videoton.
The match ended with Videoton defeating the home team by a score of 3-1. 
The Puskas Akademia is the youth side of Videoton.
The stadium has a mere capacity of 4500,
but its curving, wood-lined interior, designed by legendary Hungarian architect Imre Makovetz, gives the feel of a place of worship.


Pancho was Ferenc Puskas’s Spanish nickname, and there is no doubt who the deity is here: the Mightiest Magyar’s possessions are on display inside, making it part cathedral, part museum and part wonderful sports facility. Opened in 2014, there’s nothing else like it anywhere.
