The Alcufer Stadion, located in the tranquil district of Gyirmót, part of the larger city of Győr in western Hungary, stands as a testament to local football ambition. It is the cherished home ground of Gyirmót FC Győr, a club that has steadily climbed the ranks of Hungarian football, providing a modern and intimate venue.
A History of Development
The stadium's evolution closely mirrors the journey of its resident club. What began as a modest local ground underwent significant transformation in the mid-2010s. The most pivotal period of development occurred leading up to the 2016-2017 season, when Gyirmót FC Győr achieved promotion to the top tier of Hungarian football, the Nemzeti Bajnokság I. This historic ascent necessitated a stadium upgrade to meet league requirements, resulting in a comprehensive renovation that created the modern facility. The redevelopment ensured the stadium complied with contemporary standards, allowing the club to host top-flight matches in its own home.

With a capacity of approximately 3,800 spectators, it fosters an intimate atmosphere, allowing fans to feel close to the action. The design prioritizes functionality and comfort, featuring covered seating areas and essential modern facilities. A notable technological upgrade during its renovation was the installation of under-soil heating, crucial for maintaining playable conditions during the colder Hungarian winters, ensuring an excellent pitch year-round. The sponsorship by local company Alcufer is prominently displayed, cementing a strong local connection.
