It is our responsibility to try to maintain this ‘success-story’. The opportunity is that in addition to the results we try to achieve our main goal which is to prove that a competitive sports association that a specifically targets elite sport has the right to exist in Hungary as it is important to have a club that can represent Hungarian table tennis on international level.”

In addition besides the amount of help it will give to the club this can also help the work of the Hungarian national team.”

 

The president of MOATSZ (Hungarian Table Tennis Associations) added: according to their calculations the building can be financed from 400-500 million forints but the area on which it will be built has a value of billions and this area will be made available by the city of Budaörs for investment.

 

The mayor of Budaörs who is trying to get as many people as possible to support the club and the department was also present at the press conference.
