We believe that sport teaches you how to live your life. In addition to establishing a healthier lifestyle, sport strengthens endurance, collaboration, and teamwork. Furthermore, it provides a solid foundation for rising generations on which they can successfully rely both in their personal lives and in the world of work. In the future, we would like to strengthen our cooperation with the city of Esztergom and the local institutions.
