  • Hungary’s Interior Ministry rejected the accounting for nearly 25 billion forints in support awarded in two stages to the Fradi City project and filed a complaint last week.
  • Ferencváros president Gábor Kubatov questioned whether officials had examined the project’s 15,000-page file in detail before making the decision.
  • The club is seeking a follow-up review, while Kubatov said Ferencváros had accounted for the full amount it received.

Ferencváros president Gábor Kubatov has challenged the government’s handling of the Fradi City project, saying the decision to reject its funding accounts could not have followed a detailed review of the 15,000-page file.

In a video message addressed to Attila Kálnoki-Kiss, the state secretary responsible for sport, Kubatov called on officials to avoid politically driven decisions. The sports secretariat operates under the Interior Ministry, which filed a complaint last week and rejected the accounting for almost 25 billion forints in support awarded to the project in two stages.

Kubatov said the club had accounted for the entire amount it received. Ferencváros is now requesting a follow-up review of the decision.

The club president said he expected a fair assessment rather than a decision shaped by political considerations.

We expect a fair assessment instead of politically driven decisions.
