New Ft 2bn Sports Project For Felcsút
The Puskás football academy in Felcsút, founded by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, could be the beneficiary of a Ft 2 billion expansion paid for by companies in return for tax breaks, Népszabadság reports.

Plans call for two more training grounds to be added to the seven already existing aside from the central Pancho Aréna next to Orbán’s house in the village.

The two are to be completed in the first six months of the year, according to Figyelõ.

At least one of the two grounds, and possibly both, will have underground heating, so that training can continue during the winter months.

In a separate project, a small railway connecting the football academy with the Felcsút arboretum will be built from Ft 600 million of EU funds.
