There were stadium ground tours, museum visits, and penalty shoot out competitions organized for fans.

Football darts and an old boys match added to the festive atmosphere

Actor Karoly Nemcsak had the idea for the event. He said he was inspired by legendary matches that took place between actors and journalists in the 60s and the he was very happy with the rich interactive programme organised by some 24 clubs.

Organiser David Borsi said that from the shares on social media they knew there’d been a huge attendance at the venues, with a lot of people visiting the stadiums for the clubs' various programs.

The event was closed with the traditional actors-journalists match in Budapest’s MTK stadium.
