Sources: 6. Developments: 2. Gábor Kubatov, president of Ferencvárosi Torna Club (FTC), has addressed recent scrutiny regarding club finances and leadership regulations in Hungary. Initially, Kubatov defended the funding of the ‘Fradiváros’ infrastructure project in Népliget. He explained that the project, originally estimated at 155 billion HUF, could not be completed in its original form due to economic factors following the war in Ukraine. Kubatov asserted that state funding was used strictly according to government decisions and that remaining funds were directed toward athletes and youth development. Subsequently, Kubatov responded to new government regulations regarding conflicts of interest for sports club leaders. These rules, announced by Péter Magyar, may affect several high-profile figures, including Kubatov. Describing the circumstances as a “tough situation,” Kubatov expressed his commitment to the club despite the uncertainty surrounding his leadership ahead of upcoming presidential elections in October. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-20: Gábor Kubatov responds to new Hungarian sports conflict of interest rules Ferencváros president Gábor Kubatov responded to new Hungarian government conflict of interest rules, stating he intends to continue serving the club despite the uncertain regulatory landscape. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/gbor-kubatov-responds-to-new-hungarian-sports-conflict-of-interest-rules ### 2026-09-04: Ferencváros president defends Fradiváros project funding FTC president Gábor Kubatov defended the club's use of state funds for the Fradiváros project, asserting all money was used according to government decisions despite changes to the original infrastructure plan. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/ferencvros-president-defends-fradivros-project-funding --- Cite as: Ferencváros club leadership and funding scrutiny.
