History

On 21 January 2016, it was revealed that a new stadium will be built in Paks. The new stadium will be finished by the start of the 2016–17 Nmezeti bajnoksag I season. Janos Suli, mayor of Paks, said that the reconstruction will start in May 2016 when the 2015–16 Nemzeti Bajnoksag I season finished. The Hungarian state provided 800 million HUF, while the local government 600 million HUF for the reconstruction. Four new covered stands were built in 2018 and the capacity was increased to around 5,000 spectators.

The reconstruction ended in 2020 and the first official match was played between Paks and Ujpest FC on the first match day of the 2020-21 Nemzeti Bajnoksag I season on 15 August 2020.

In an interview with Janos Szabo, player of Paks, said that players of the other clubs did not like playing at Fehervari Ut because everything was so small including the restroom. It was very difficult for the away team to speed up for the match. Many times it happened when the away team woke up, the result was 2-0 for the home side.

Before the opening ceremony, the gates will be opened for the public, Tamas Mehes, the communication director of Paks, said. There were several programs such as football for kids, and freestyle. The entrance for the opening match was free.
