On the weekend of July 23rd and 24th, Corinthian-Casuals will be hosting the second edition of the Egri Erbstein Tournament.


As well as celebrating the achievements of one of football’s great pioneering coaches, the tournament also brings together like minded amateur and semi-professional clubs from around the world.


Broadway to Brazil listeners may remember the Casuals travelling to Budapest in 2019, where the club lifted the trophy - a newly minted Corinthian Cup - in front of a loud and passionate travelling army of supporters.


Now it’s the turn of the Corinthians to host. And in these special Broadway to Brazil bonus episodes, we’ll be speaking to representatives from each of the competing clubs in the build up to the tournament.


First up is Bertalan Molnar, President of Budapesti Atletikai Klub - or BAK for short. BAK were Egri Erbstein’s first club, and the semi final opponents of Casuals back in 2019, eventually losing 3-0 in a hard fought encounter. Now they make the return journey, and will be facing the world’s oldest club, Sheffield FC, in their semi final.


Here’s what Bertalan had to say about the tournament, and what his team will be bringing to the table later this month.
