The design of the DVTK stadium is a fitting tribute to the tradition of steelmaking in Diósgyőr. With a built-up area of 17,500 m² and a seating capacity of 14,680, the complex is covered with extended sheet metal and trapezoidal steel plates on precast reinforced concrete pylons. These monumental steel planes are elegantly segmented by white framing cornices.

During the construction phase, which started in November 2016, the combination of different manufacturing technologies within a single support posed a significant challenge. In addition, the assembly technology had to be defined in a way that would allow the fastest possible work. During construction, we always tried to pre-assemble as many components as possible and then use a crane to fit them into place. This is an effective method, as it increases work efficiency by reducing the time spent working at heights.

The energy invested was not in vain this time either, as evidenced by the fact that the DVTK Stadium was voted Stadium of the Year in 2018 by the professional jury in a competition announced by stadiumdb.com.

Architectural and construction highlights

The stadium's shape is reminiscent of the "silver chalice" appearance, which provides a unique visual element in the surroundings. The harmonious combination of the external aluminium cladding and the roof structure highlights the building in the cityscape.

A heated playing field with automatic irrigation system and under-floor heating.

The aluminum grid covering the inner surface of the roof creates beautiful interferences and a moiré effect, making it visually intriguing

The large mass forming elements and the "shadow joints" between them create a light, floating stadium image.

The strongly overhanging roof is punctuated by angled “lighting arms” that extend from the upper edge of the grandstand.

This facility meets all UEFA regulations, featuring an arena-like, fully enclosed grandstand, ground-level reception buildings, and service areas under the stands.
