Haladás Stadion – construction description

New stadium in western Szombathely will replace the city’s main sports venue. Simple and modern by design, it will be conjoined with a multi-use sports hall in the western part. With extensive media and hospitality infrastructure the building will meet UEFA’s Category IV criteria, allowing it to host major international games.

Nearly 9,000 people will be able to enter for football, all of them seated and covered. Two sections prepared to hold constantly standing fans will be the away section (915 seats) and the local supporters’ core of support (850). VIP/corporate seats will represent roughly 5% (or 500 seats).

Construction was expected to begin in 2015 and last until the end of 2016. However, after a significant setback it only started a year later and is expected to last until fall of 2017.
