Stadium
The home of the club is the multi-purpose stadium ETO Park. It was opened in 2008 as a replacement for Stadion ETO. Its capacity is 16,000 but if necessary the stadium can be expanded in order to host 30,000 spectators. The stadium complex also includes three grass practice pitches and one synthetic practice pitch, as well as two indoor pitches. A hotel can be found next to the pitch. The stadium can also host cultural events such as concerts and exhibitions. The style of the stadium is 'a la English' that is open at the corners.
The stadium is also home to the national team of Hungary. On 3 March 2010 Hungary drew with Russia in a friendly match. 16,000 spectators attended the match.
On 29 February 2012, Hungary hosted Bulgaria in a friendly match. Although Szalai scored in the 42nd minute, a late equalizer was delivered by Bozhinov.[1]
On 7 June 2013, Csaba Tarsoly said that the ETO Park is unique in Hungary that it was built without any governmental support. The facility corresponds to the UEFA stadium criteria, except for the fact that a UEFA Champions League or UEFA Europa League final cannot be played at the stadium since it is not able to host 30,000 spectators.[2]
Ownership
On 14 June 2001, the Quaestor Financial Hrurira Kft bought the club and the stadium from the Rába Rt.[3]

On 9 March 2015, the Quaestor Financial Hrurira Kft. went bankrupt.[5]
On 14 March 2015, the Audi finished supporting the club due to the unpredictability caused by the bankruptcy of the Quaestor Financial Hrurira Kft..[6]
On 22 April 2015, the mayor of Győr, Zsolt Borkai said that the club will compete either in the Nemzeti Bajnokság III or in the county championship from the 2015–16 season due to the fact that the club will not be able to receive license from the Hungarian Football Federation since the club has amassed a 200 million HUF of debt.[7][8]
On 23 April 2015, it was revealed that an English investor is interested in the club.[9]
The promotion to the 2017–18 Nemzeti Bajnokság II aroused the interest of different investor. Among the investors there is a Belgian group who showed interest in purchasing the club and their estates.[10]
