Topolya is located in central Vojvodina, Serbia, 44 km from the Hungarian border. The football academy of Topolya was inaugurated in September 2018 and built with government support from Hungary. The academy there plays a community-building and identity-forming role for Hungarians. The academy offers young Hungarians from across the border the opportunity to develop their skills and talents, strengthening the talent base of Hungarian football. The academy supports the preservation of Hungarian culture, language and traditions among young players, strengthening Hungarian identity and sense of belonging.
