Government commissioner and head of the National Sports Centre, László Vigh, told a press conference that the six-floor swimming complex is set to become a new spectacle in northern Budapest, next to the current Dagály spa.

It is planned to be completed by the end of 2016. The complex will occupy an area of 25,000 square metres. It will have an initial capacity for 5,000 spectators but a temporary mobile grandstand for an additional 13,000 spectators will be added for the 2021 world championships.
