Passionate Hungarian fans made their way to the stadium as they look to help inspire their team to a historic win over reigning champions Portugal as the Euro 2020 Championships gets ready to hold its first sold out game on Tuesday (June 15).
A capacity crowd of around 67,000 fans are expected to fill the Puskas Arena for the opening match of Group F, dubbed the 'Group of Death' after it was drawn to include European champions Portugal, world champions France and continental heavyweights Germany.
The shiny new stadium is the only Euro 2020 stadium which will be at full capacity after local authorities agreed to exchange social distancing for a strict entry policy, requiring fans to return a negative COVID-19 test to gain access.
Leaving aside the partisan crowd, Portugal are likely to face tougher tests from Germany and France and the fixture is a golden chance to clock up some early goals and points to help their push to qualify from the group.
Portugal did face a torrid time from Hungary at Euro 2016, falling behind three times before coming back to earn a 3-3 draw and scrape into the knockout stages en route to lifting the trophy.
