The National Athletics Centre (in Hungarian Nemzeti Atlétikai Központ) is the athletics stadium in Budapest, Hungary that hosted the 2023 World Athletics Championships. The stadium was built on the eastern bank of the Danube, south of the centre of Budapest, with a capacity of 36,000 for the championships.

“The Crown of the Queen of Sports.
As part of the medium and long-term plans for the urban design of Budapest Southern City Gate Development, NAPUR Architect Ltd. have designed the Budapest Athletic Stadium and its complementary project elements - jointly called the Budapest Athletic Center - commissioned on behalf of KKBK. The design consists of three main areas to be regenerated. The first is the 15-hectare Athletic Stadium and park; the second is the 5-hectare Athletic Training Center; and the third area consists of the Hajóállomás street and its surroundings, which is a key area in terms of the project's integration to the urban structure. The main elements of the design masterplan are the new Athletic Stadium and park on the existing Vituki industrial site; a new pedestrian-cycling bridge designed to connect to the top of North-Csepel; and the new Athletic Training Center, which will be accessible through the bridge. The three project elements aim to contribute to the development of the region with a joint urban architecture vision."
