history
The plans of the architectural office NAPUR architect kft. with the leading architects Ferencz Marcel and György Détári were originally intended as an Olympic stadium. Budapest applied to host the 2024 Summer Olympics . After the announcement in July 2015, the city withdrew its application in February 2017 due to dwindling support and a citizens' movement that collected twice as many signatures as needed for a referendum . For the application for the athletics world championships in 2023, NAPUR architect had the plans adapted for the world championships and subsequent use. NAPUR architect was already responsible for the Duna Aréna swimming pool . Initially the Olympic Arena was supposed to offer 55,000 seats, then it was reduced to 40,000. Externally, the design with its roof construction is reminiscent of the HDI-Arena in Hanover . When the upper tier has been removed, the base of the later sports stadium will have a circular shape. In the first plans, the roof should be removed during dismantling. This has been discarded and the roof over the stadium is provided with a pull rope construction , as is often the case in modern stadium construction, which spans a translucent material such as polycarbonate over the spectator stands. After the World Cup, the stadium area is to offer publicly accessible leisure and youth sports areas. Construction should start in 2019. The costs are estimated at 100 billion HUF (310 million euros estimated).
The tender for the construction project started on February 19, 2020 . Proposals could be submitted until March 18 of the year. The tender also includes the redesign of the Danube bank, infrastructural tasks and the landscaping around the stadium, which is to become a leisure destination for the residents. More concrete figures were given. 9,600 tons of structural steel are to be used. The roof will cover an area of 25,000 m² . The two-story stadium will offer 37,326 seats for the World Cup. Of these, 22,795 are temporary places that are on the upper tier. After the title fights, this will be dismantled and 14,531 places will be retained.
