Numbers
On Sunday our team once again played in front of an impressive crowd: 3951 supporters attended the league match against Tiszakécske at Bozsik Aréna, making it the 12th best-attended match in the stadium's history. The fixture also marked a special milestone, as including the inaugural match it was the 70th competitive game we have played in our new home.
There will still be football after the league round: on Saturday we face Bosnian side FK Radnik Bijeljina in a friendly. The match is notable in several respects, as it will be the 12th meeting in our history against a Bosnian club and the 6th Bosnian team we have faced – including matches played when Yugoslavia still existed.

Gyula Dudás made his international debut
On October 11, 1925, in Prague, in front of around 30,000 spectators, the Hungary national football team played Czechoslovakia, with the hosts winning 2–0. The match had special significance for Kispesti AC player Gyula Dudás, who wore the national shirt for the first time that day.
Dudás was given an opportunity in an unusual position, but never looked out of place, and many considered his performance worthy of replacing Fogl II. According to the report by Nemzeti Sport, Dudás delivered an outstanding display.
