Várkert Stadium is a football stadium in Kisvárda, Hungary. The UEFA category 3 arena is home to the association football side Kisvárda FC. The stadium has a capacity of 2,850.[2]

History

The stadium was planned to be built for HUF 120 million in 2014, however step by step it managed to cost taxpayers a lot more. After categorised as an economically significant investment, another HUF 800 million was awarded in 2014, which grew to 1.5 billion and then 2 billion in a short time. In the end a further 473 million HUF was spent on building a heat pipe system from the nearby thermal water complex - making the total investment HUF 2.5 billion - basically 1 million for each spectator seat. A typical example how one politician's dream can make others pay for it.

The first Nemzeti Bajnokság I match was played against Ferencváros on the 4th match day of the 2018–19 Nemzeti Bajnokság I.[3]

The first Magyar Kupa match was played on 27 February 2018 in the 2018–19 Magyar Kupa season against Ferencváros. The result was 1-1.

Nyíregyháza hosted Szeged-Csanád Grosics Akadémia on the 38 match day of the 2022–23 Nemzeti Bajnokság II season at the Várkerti Stadion on 27 May 2023.[4] The reason for the move was that the Balmazújvárosi Városi Sportpálya was one the stadiums used for the 2023 UEFA European Under-17 Championship.[5]
