Ferencváros will host Real Madrid in a prestigious international pre-season friendly at Budapest's Groupama Arena on August 8. This highly anticipated match forms part of Real Madrid's Austrian training programme and marks a significant event for Hungarian football. José Mourinho, recently reinstated as Real Madrid's coach, will lead the team's summer preparations, including this fixture.

The two clubs last met in the 1995-96 Champions League group stage. Ferencváros is expected to request a postponement of their domestic NB I match against ETO FC Győr to ensure a full squad for the gala encounter. Ticket sales for this rare visit by the 15-time Champions League winners begin on July 27, with exceptional demand anticipated. Mourinho's prior experience at Groupama Arena with Chelsea in 2014 may have influenced Real Madrid's decision to visit.
