The Nagyerdei Stadion is an all-seater asymmetric football stadium in Debrecen, Hungary and home to Debreceni Vasutas Sport Club (the seats behind the goals are 'Vario' or 'Rail' seats to facilitate safe standing at domestic matches). With space for 20,340 spectators, Nagyerdei stadion has the third largest capacity of any Hungarian football stadium and the second largest Hungarian League stadium. The stadium primarily hosts Debreceni Vasutas Sport Club's home matches. It was opened on 1 May 2014 and the first official match was played between Debrecen and Újpest in the 2013–14 season which ended with a 3-1 victory for the host team.

Bocskai FC played against the Italian club Bologna F.C. 1909 in the Mitropa Cup 1934. The match ended with a 2–1 home victory, however Bocskai FC was eliminated from the Mitropa Cup 1934 season in front of 12,000 spectators.
Between 1934 and 2013 the Nagyerdei stadion was the home of Bocskai FC and Debreceni VSC. It hosted the Flower Carnival of Debrecen (Debreceni Virágkarnevál in Hungarian).
