The owners of the NB I teams have started to reach into their pockets

Recent capital increases by owners of two Hungarian football clubs indicate financial challenges. Újpest's owner, a subsidiary of Mol, injected approximately 780 million HUF, while Debrecen's majority owner, Scott Capital, pledged 1.4 million EUR. Despite these efforts, Debrecen faces significant financial issues, including negative equity due to past losses. Both clubs are experiencing declining revenues, with predictions of a more substantial drop next year, particularly if state media withdraws from broadcasting rights. This situation raises concerns about the willingness of owners to continue funding their teams amid potential financial strain.
