PVSK Stadion, Football stadium in Pécs, Hungary
PVSK Stadion stands on Verseny Street behind the Pécs railway station, on the site of a ground built in 1952. Its permanent capacity was 12,000, of which 2,000 were seats. The deteriorated stands were demolished from 2018 so the rebuilt stadium could open for the club's centenary in 2019; 21,000 cubic metres of material, including 1,200 cubic metres of concrete, were hauled away.
The stadium opened on 9 August 1952, when Pécsi Lokomotív lost 0:2 to Sztálin Vasmű Építők in the inaugural match. Until 1975 it was home to both Pécsi Dózsa (later Pécsi Munkás) and PVSK, before PMSC moved to the Újmecsekalja ground. In 2018 the deteriorated stands were demolished and 21,000 cubic metres of material, including 1,200 cubic metres of concrete, were removed ahead of the club's centenary.
The ground is home to Pécsi VSK, which plays in the first division of the Baranya County championship. Its name recalls the railway workers' club behind the station, and the pitch hosted two unofficial matches of the 1954 Hungarian national team, where Ferenc Puskás and Sándor Kocsis scored.
The stadium sits directly behind Pécs railway station, reachable via pedestrian access, which makes getting there straightforward. Visitors should arrive early to find parking or use public transport to avoid congestion.
The record crowd of 22,000 came in March 1955, when Pécsi Dózsa beat Honvéd 2:0. The stadium's permanent capacity was 12,000, of which 2,000 were seats, so the ground was filled well beyond its normal size that day.
