History
In June 2018, when Hungary and Slovakia were awarded the right to host the 2022 European Men's Handball Championship, László Papp Budapest Sports Arena was still the chosen venue in Budapest. The possibility of a new sports arena for the event was first mentioned in February 2019. The venue, the site of a former barracks, was officially proposed in April. The construction of the project was estimated at HUF 116 billion at the time of the tender, and the contract was signed for a net amount of HUF 78.7 billion, not including the HUF 13.6 billion paid for the purchase of the land and the additional HUF 1.7 billion spent on preparations.
Construction started on 29 November 2019. By June 2020, the 8 staircases were roughly completed and the construction of the grandstand structure began. In October 2020, construction of the roof structure started. In January 2021, ticket sales for the 2022 European Handball Championship started. At this time, the installation of the outer covering of the new arena began. The inauguration ceremony of the then still unnamed venue took place in 2021. The event concluded with a Punnany Massif concert and a 2×15 minute Hungary-Hungary gala match featuring some of the biggest names of recent history.
On 4 January 2022, it was announced that the name of the facility will be MVM Dome, based on the cooperation between MVM Zrt. and BMSK Zrt.
From 15 February 2022, the trustee of the sports arena is Ferencváros TC. From February 2022, the arena will be operated by Sportfive Hungary Kft. for ten years.
