Stadium: Pancho Aréna, Felcsút
Capacity: 3,816

Puskás Ferenc Labdarugó Akadémia, commonly known as Puskás Akadémia FC or simply Puskás Akadémia, were founded in 2005 in Felcsút, Hungary. The aim of the founders was to establish an academy for Videoton (Now MOL Fehérvár) and to establish a fitting memorial to former Hungarian national footballer Ferenc Puskás, despite the team not actually having any academy players or Ferenc Puskás having any links to either Videoton or Felcsút! For this reason alone they are hated and mocked in Hungary with the vast majority of fans refusing to use the made up name and simply referring to them instead as Felcsút.
This is the clubs 2nd spell in the NB1, the first being between season 2013/14 and 2015/16. Following relegation they were immediately re-promoted as champions of the NB2 in time for season 2017/18.
They do have the most beautiful, in architectural terms at least, stadium. The Pancho Aréna, which has a capacity of 3,816 – more than double the population of Felcsút. They just don’t have any fans to go in it.
