"I have a collection of hundreds of jerseys, the hosts pay special attention to the fact that it's 30, because that's the number I wore on my back when I played futsal"

Gergely Sántha, the chairman of the Supervisory Board, said: they want to transfer the work they put into sports to other areas of society.
"Sport is a common language. I believe that we are on the right track, and we want to expand this sporting connection between Miskolc and Kassa in other areas of society, in culture and education as well."
Gergely Sántha added.
