It depicts the football match between Hungary and England in 1953, when Hungary beat England by 6-3 causing the English team to review their training and tactics.
It's located at Rumbach Sebestyen Utca 6-10 (Sebestyan Rumbach str) and is part of a wall rehabilitation program which started in 2013 to bring life into the old and dark walls of the district.
Painted by Neopaint’s team, Hungary’s largest mural at 1000 sqmt surface (10764 sqft), used 400 litres of paint. So you can imagine how proud the Hungarians must be of that win!

ReplyDeleteThanks William.
Delete...'Match of the Century' with a mural to match!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tom, yes a mural to match the match!
DeleteRather unusual to depict something like that in a mural. It would have been a very good propaganda coup at the time.
ReplyDeleteI agree Andrew, it is a very unusual subject for a mural.
DeleteI promise to love this mural and NOT say anything about the fact that it is NOT football, but soccer (in MY world). Huge mural for a huge win.
ReplyDeleteLol, yes Elizabeth we have to agree to disagree - unfortunately the world can't make up it's mind, as some countries call it soccer and others call it football. :)
DeleteThat's very cool! Boy, someone worked like crazy on this one!
ReplyDeleteYes, a lot of work and many days it would have taken to paint this monster. Thanks Jeanie.
DeleteFantástico!!
ReplyDeleteBoa semana
Obrigada Pedro, boa semana para si tambem.
DeleteThat ball has a 3D quality about it. I love how it stands out.
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting, Sami. :)
Thanks Dee, yes that ball looks quite real.
DeleteWow, this mural really shows off the pride and joy. I love the newspaper article in that size, too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Iris, they must have been incredibly proud of their win.
Delete1953 a long time ago, but still a good memory apparently.
ReplyDeleteI think the mural is from 2013, but I think someone must love football and decided to remind everyone of that win.
DeleteThanks Marianne.
Must have been a great boost for moral over there. Winning from England.
ReplyDeleteIt must have been to deserve a giant mural! Thanks Stef.
DeleteWow! That is a big one! Thanks for sharing this bit of history
ReplyDeleteThanks Lea.
Deletewhat a wonderful mural. I heard that this match was considered as very important, and the hungarian team in these years as one of the best in the football history. I like your blog very much
ReplyDeleteThank you Kwarkito. I had no idea the Hungarian team was one of the best, as I'm not really a fan of football :)
DeleteMural espectacular e de grande beleza.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e boa semana.

DeleteOh my gosh! That's amazingly detailed Sami. It's so real it almost looks like a photograph! Hope all is well with you, we must catch up again soon ✨
ReplyDeleteThanks Grace, it's very detailed, almost looks like a newspaper page.
DeleteSometime after next week would be great, J is here until Sunday.
Now that is detailed ...
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Thanks Jan.
DeleteSoccer/football fans have long memories!
ReplyDeleteYou made me laugh Pat, I presume they do, having painted this mural such a long time after the event.
DeleteInteresting. Sports can unite a community.
ReplyDeleteThat is true Linda. Thanks for contributing.
