Any Resemblance is Pure Coincidence

In a tiny village outside Budapest, there’s a football stadium that looks like it belongs in the big leagues. It’s the hometown of Hungary’s Prime Minister, Viktor Orbán – and just like Romania’s former leader Ceaușescu (who also built an oversized stadium in his own village), he made sure his hometown got something special. Coincidence? You decide.
While the stadium’s design is actually pretty impressive (and it’s well maintained), the story behind it raises questions about power, pride, and how politicians use public funds. This visit is less about football and more about political symbolism. You’ll get the inside scoop on this surreal place, located just 40 km from Budapest – and yes, you’ll get to see it up close.
