The Pancho Arena was built to serve as the home of Puskas Akademia, the youth team of Videoton.
Construction of the new stadium was championed by Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orban, who grew up in the town of Felcsut, played for Puskas Akademia, and owns land next to the arena. This also led to criticism as the stadium was deemed excessive for the small village and allegations of corruption were made.
The Pancho Arena officially opened on 21 April 2014 with the Puskas Cup which was contested between Puskas Akademia and Real Madrid U-17. The stadium was designed by award-winning Hungarian architect Imre Makovecz and stands out by its remarkable wooden roof structure and exterior.
During the 2016-17 season, Videoton also played their home games at the stadium while their Sostoi Stadion was under construction.
In the stadium you can see the Ferenc Puskás Memorial and admire an incomparable collection of relics, olympic gold medals, photos, and football jersey of Puskás.

reds are made here, particularly Portugieser, Kadarka and Pinot Noir. Besides Törley – accounts for 70 percent of Hungary’s sparkling wine production –, there are some bigger and a lot of smaller wineries, mostly small family ones making handcrafted sparkling wines.
