Štadión Družstevník Veľké Ludince

The ground sits in the centre of **Veľké Ludince**. Built in **1952**, it has watched the same local side, **TJ Družstevník Veľké Ludince**, play on its **natural grass** pitch for more than two decades. The club competes in the **3. Liga (West)**, the third tier of the domestic game, and remains the smallest village team in that league.

The atmosphere shifts when higher-division opponents arrive. On **October 19, 2016**, the stadium hosted a **Slovak Cup** match against **ŠK Slovan Bratislava**. While the home side lost **1–0**, the crowd **roared them on** despite the deficit. Sources differ on the size of that gathering: **Wikipedia** cites **3,000** spectators, whereas the away club’s official site records **2,551**.

More recently, on **September 25, 2024**, the hosts lost **0–3** to **DAC Dunajská Streda** in front of approximately **2,000** people. These cup runs are the only time the **Slovnaft Cup** brings significant attention to this corner of the country.

The physical structure is unpretentious. The address is listed as **Ulica Veľké Ludince 732**, though the street name is generic and may be a placeholder. Capacity figures vary wildly between databases. Specialized trackers like **Europlan** and **Wikipedia** list the official match capacity as **800**, with a total potential capacity of **1,750**. Other sources, such as **Transfery.info** and **Fichajes**, claim **2,800**, likely referencing older standing figures. One visiting club’s website even mistakenly listed the surface as **artificial turf**, a clear error given the visible **natural grass**.

There is no official website for the club. The history here is quiet, defined by the slow passage of time and the occasional burst of excitement when underdogs **threw everything at it** against a bigger name.
