History

Template:Main On 3 May 1899, Ferencvárosi TC was founded by citizens of the 9th district of Budapest.<ref name=clubfacts/> With the exception of three seasons between 2006 and 2009, Ferencváros have played in the Nemzeti Bajnokság I since its inception in 1901. The club's financial problems in 2006 resulted in the Hungarian Football Federation (MLSZ) withdrawing the club's licence; a withdrawal that was eventually deemed unauthorized.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Following this, Fradi were promoted back to the first division in 2009.

Ferencváros are the most successful Hungarian team both domestically and internationally. They won the 1964–65 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup and have also won the Nemzeti Bajnokság I 36 times and the Magyar Kupa 24 times.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

They qualified for the renewed Champions League, the first Hungarian club to do so, in the 1995–1996 season. Since then, the club have also taken part in the 2004–05 UEFA Cup, 2019–20 Europa League, 2020–21 Champions League, and 2021–22 Europa League group stages.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

On 3 December 1900 the football section of the club was established. Two months later, on 10 February, the first Hungarian championship match took place between Ferencváros and Budapesti TC, though it was not officially recognized by the Hungarian Football Federation. The first official championship match was played on 21 April 1901, when Ferencváros suffered a 5–3 defeat against MUE. Borbás Gáspár, then 17 years old, scored Ferencváros' first official championship goal. The first point was earned in a 2–2 draw against Műegyetem, and the first victory came on 16 June 1901 (FTC-Budapesti SC 5–1).

Interestingly, Ferencváros made its international debut earlier than in domestic competitions. On 25 March 1901, the Viennese Cricketer defeated the Hungarian team 9–0. On 5 May, against the Old Cricketer (5–0, the first Ferencváros victory in international competition), the players wore the first badge with five green and four white stripes and three inverted E's in a green shield at the bottom – a design that still references the club's motto: morals, strength, unity.

In 1902, Ferencváros suffered its heaviest defeat, losing 16–0 against the English team Oxford FC. The club secured its first championship title in 1903 and the second in 1905, followed by three more in the 1900s (1906/07, 1908/09, 1909/10). On 6 June 1909 FTC permanently won the first Hungarian football challenge trophy, capturing the silver ball for the fifth time.

On 12 February 1911 Ferencváros inaugurated its new stadium on Üllői Road, Ferencváros Stadion, where it still plays today. Schlosser Imre scored the first green-and-white goal in the new facility. In 1911, the club won its third consecutive championship title, remaining unbeaten in 21 matches that season. In 1912, Ferencváros defeated Working FC, winning against an English team in England for the first time. In the same year, they beat the III. district team 11–3, with Schlosser scoring eight goals in one match, a record that still stands for goals scored in a single match. The 1911/12 championship brought another Ferencváros title, marking the club's seventh.

In 1913, Ferencváros achieved not only the championship title but also won the Hungarian Cup for the first time in its history.

In 1914, World War I broke out, bringing a somber year for Ferencváros football players. Almost every member of the team received military service call-ups, and many of them never returned home.

Crest and colours

The colours of the club are green and white. The nine stripes on the club badge, five green and four white, symbolise the district of Ferencváros, Budapest's ninth district. The three E's on Ferencváros' badge represent the club's motto of Erkölcs, Erő, Egyetértés (Template:Langx).<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

Stadium

Template:Main

File:Az FTC pálya a megnyitás délelőttjén 1911. február 12.jpg
Üllői út (1911–1974)

The first stadium of the club started being built in the autumn of 1910. On 12 February 1911, Ferencváros played their first match against Budapest rival MTK Budapest which was won by the club. The starting line-up consisted of Fritz, Rumbold, Magnlitz, Weinber, Bródy, Payer, Szeitler, Weisz, Koródy, Schlosser, Borbás. The first stadium could host 40,000 spectators.

File:Fradi pálya.jpg
Albert Stadion (1974–2014)

Template:Main In 1971 the stands were demolished and a new stadium began to be built. The new stadium was inaugurated on the 75th anniversary of the club. On 19 May 1974, the first match was played against Vasas. The new stadium could host 29,505 spectators (including 10,771 seats and 18,734 standing). In the 1990s the stadium was redesigned to meet the UEFA requirements therefore its capacity was reduced to 18,100. When Ferencváros qualified for the 1995–96 UEFA Champions League group stage, a new journalist stand was built over the main stand.

On 21 December 2007, the stadium's name was changed from Üllői úti Stadion to Stadion Albert Flórián. Flórián Albert, the former Ferencváros icon, was present at the inauguration ceremony. There were many plans on how to increase the capacity of the stadium in case the Hungarian Football Federation won the bid for the UEFA Euro 2008 or the Euro 2012. However, the Federation did not win any bids therefore the reconstruction of the stadium was delayed.

When Kevin McCabe became the owner of the club the reconstruction was on schedule again. Later, McCabe sold his team to the Hungarian state and the reconstruction did not take place.

Ferencváros Stadion (2014–present)

Template:Main Ferencváros Stadion, multi-purpose stadium, is the third home of the club. It has a capacity of 20,000 spectators in UEFA matches and 23,700 in Hungarian League matches.

When Gábor Kubatov was elected as president of the club, he and Pál Orosz managed to raise enough funds for the construction of a new stadium. The new stadium was rotated by 90 degrees in order to meet UEFA requirements. Therefore, the main stand which was parallel to the Üllői út became parallel to the Hungária körút. As part of the national stadium reconstruction programme the new stadium was built between 2013 and 2014.

The stadium was designed by Ágnes Streit and Szabolcs Kormos and was built by Market Építő Zrt from 2013 to 2014. In the arena there can be found the Ferencváros Museum and a fan shop too. The stadium is cutting edge in its vein matching entrance systemTemplate:Explain. On 10 August 2014, Ferencváros played the opening match against Chelsea.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

After the demolition of the Puskás Ferenc Stadion, Hungary played their home matches at the new arena until the new Puskás Ferenc Stadion was opened in late 2019. The national team celebrated the victory against Norway after a 2–1 win at the UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying play-off.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

Ownership

On 14 February 2008, Sheffield United public limited company chairman Kevin McCabe successfully acquired a tender to purchase Ferencváros. McCabe's Hungarian company, Esplanade Limited liability company bought Ferencváros' real estate for £8.45 million with a view to start paying off the £5 million debt.<ref>Template:Cite webTemplate:Cbignore</ref> In April 2008, Ferencváros Torna Club officially agreed to sell the football club, Ferencváros Labdarúgó ZRt. to Esplanade Kft., McCabe's company in Hungary.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

In 2011, McCabe relinquished his ownership of the club after describing a "strained relationship" with some minority shareholders.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

On 25 February 2011, Gábor Kubatov, Hungarian MP, was appointed as the president of Ferencváros.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

On 28 October 2014, Gábor Kubatov was re-elected to serve another four-year term as the president of the club.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

Club identity, supporters and rivalries

Supporters of Ferencváros are mainly from the capital city of Hungary, Budapest. However, the club is popular all over Hungary. Ferencváros' nickname of Fradi is derived from Franzstadt, the German name for the area of Ferencváros, with the club carrying a "vague sense of German ethnicity", according to British sports journalist Jonathan Wilson.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref>

20th century

File:Jaross Andor 1938.jpg
Andor Jaross took control of Ferencváros in 1944.

Ferencváros has long been associated with right-wing nationalist sentiment. The roots of this alignment stretch back to the early 20th century, but intensified notably in the interwar period, particularly during Hungary’s drift toward fascism in the 1930s. As the country embraced authoritarian nationalism under Prime Minister Gyula Gömbös and later aligned with the Axis powers during the Second World War, Ferencváros supporters increasingly adopted an anti-cosmopolitan, often antisemitic outlook. In 1944, the club was taken over by Andor Jaross, a leading figure in Hungary’s fascist regime and organiser of the deportation of Hungarian Jews. This period cemented the club’s associations with far-right ideology.<ref name="Mortimer Dec 2021">Template:Cite news</ref>

After the war, under Communist rule, Ferencváros was regarded with suspicion by the Hungarian People's Republic government. The regime, aware of the symbolic power of football, attempted to suppress dissent by altering club identities: Ferencváros’ colours were changed, and the club was marginalised in favour of establishment-aligned teams such as Honvéd (army), MTK Budapest FC (state security), and Újpest (police).<ref name="Mortimer Dec 2021"/> From 1949 to 1963, Ferencváros won no league titles, and state surveillance was frequently deployed at matches.<ref name="Mortimer Dec 2021"/> Despite these efforts, the club’s identity as an outsider and nationalist bastion was preserved and even strengthened. Fans continued to voice right-wing slogans, and anti-Communist sentiment was rife on the terraces. Following the 1956 Hungarian Revolution, the regime relaxed its grip, allowing Ferencváros to reclaim its green and white colours and resume its traditional identity.<ref name="Mortimer Dec 2021"/>

This liberalisation coincided with a resurgence of nationalism and antisemitism in Hungarian football culture. Ferencváros fans were again central: in the early 1960s, they chanted “we defeated Israel” after beating MTK, burned newspapers in front of a rabbinical college, and used chants referencing gas chambers.<ref name="Mortimer Dec 2021"/> These actions were part of a broader trend in which far-right sentiment became a means of expressing group identity and defiance against both rival fans and the state. In the 1980s, as state control weakened, Ferencváros' ultra groups, especially the Green Monsters, helped normalise neo-fascist chants and physical violence. By the 1990s, after the collapse of Communism, this orientation was fully visible, with far-right symbolism and aggression spreading from Ferencváros to ultras across the country.<ref name="Mortimer Dec 2021"/>

21st century

File:Kubatov.gabor1.JPG
Ferencváros club president Gábor Kubatov is a member of the Fidesz political party, and the two organisations have been linked together.

Since the 2010s, Ferencváros has become associated with Fidesz, Hungary’s ruling party. One of the party's central figures, Gábor Kubatov, is both the director of Fidesz and a prominent figure in Ferencváros’s management. His close ties with the club's ultra groups, especially the Green Monsters, allowed the party to co-opt a powerful subcultural identity. This alliance was notably visible during the 2006 protests against the Socialist government, when football ultras (including many Ferencváros supporters) took part in the siege of Magyar Televízió's headquarters, a pivotal moment that helped destabilise the opposition and laid the groundwork for Fidesz's return to power.<ref name="BI Sept 2023">Template:Cite news</ref>

The club has also been used more directly in the party’s political operations. In 2016, a group of men linked to Ferencváros's private security blocked opposition MP István Nyakó from filing a referendum initiative at the National Election Office. The incident caused a national outcry and suggested that forces connected to the club were being used to physically suppress political dissent. This added to the perception of Ferencváros being associated with Fidesz.<ref name="BI Sept 2023"/>

Since the opening of the newly built Groupama Aréna, the spectators are scanned at the entrance. As a consequence, the main supporter group of the club, called B-közép, announced a boycott in 2014. Club chairman Kubatov said that he had wanted peace in the new stadium and the club had already paid a lot of fines and punishments due to the unacceptable behaviour of the B-közép. Kubatov had expected that the spectators could have been changed due to the new regulations. However, the number of spectators had not increased in the 2014–15 and 2015–16 seasons.

On 13 March 2016, 10,125 spectators watched the match between Ferencváros' second team against Csepel SC in the 2015–16 Nemzeti Bajnokság III season. The attendance was a protest by the B-közép to show how many spectators were missing from the Groupama Aréna.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

On 24 March 2016, the representatives of the B-közép started negotiations with club leader, Gabor Kubatov.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> As a results of the negotiations they were allowed back to the stadium.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

In the 2020s, tensions have also emerged between Ferencváros supporters and the party’s geopolitical leanings. In July 2023, following the club’s early elimination from the UEFA Champions League qualifiers, fans loudly chanted "Russians go home!", a message aimed at the club’s Russian manager Stanislav Cherchesov. While partly a reaction to the sporting failure, the chant also tapped into historic anti-Soviet sentiment embedded in Ferencváros's identity and was interpreted as a veiled criticism of the Hungarian government’s perceived closeness to Russia.<ref name="BI Sept 2023"/>

Friendships

The fans have friendships with fans of Rapid Wien<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> and since both play in Green the alliance is nicknamed the "Green Brothers". They also have friendly relations in Hungary with fans of Zalaegerszeg, in Poland with Śląsk Wrocław and Lechia Gdańsk, and in England with Cambridge United.

File:Albert Flórián stadion-2011.04.01-FTC-Újpest.jpg
Ferencváros-Újpest derby on 1 April 2011

Ferencváros have rivalry with several teams from Budapest including MTK Budapest, Újpest, Honvéd, Vasas SC, and several provincial clubs such as Debrecen<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> and Diósgyőr. Since Ferencváros has been the most successful club in Hungarian Football history by winning 33 Hungarian League titles, 21 Hungarian Cup titles and 2 Hungarian League Cup titles and the most successful Hungarian club in the European football competitions by winning the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup 1964–65 season, every club in the Hungarian League wants to defeat them.

The biggest rivalry is with Újpest, which dates back to the 1930s when Újpest won their first Hungarian League title. Since then, the fixture between the two teams attracts the most spectators in the domestic league.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> The matches between the two teams often end in violence which causes big trouble for the Hungarian football. The proposal of personal registration was refused by both clubs.

The fixture between Ferencváros and MTK Budapest FC is called the Örökrangadó or Eternal derby. It is the oldest football rivalry in Hungary, which dates back as early as the 1903 season when Ferencváros first won the Hungarian League. In the following three decades either Ferencváros or MTK Budapest won the domestic league.

Honvéd are also considered fierce rivals as the clubs are in very close proximity to each other and in the past frequently competed for honours.

Hooliganism

On 26 November 2002, the UEFA Control and Disciplinary Committee fined Ferencváros €18,300 for fireworks and hooliganism-related offences committed by the fans of Ferencváros before and after the 2002-03 UEFA Cup second tie against VfB Stuttgart on 12 November 2002.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

In 2004, Ferencváros were charged by UEFA with crowd trouble and racist abuse after playing Millwall in the 2004-05 UEFA Cup tie in Budapest, Hungary.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Four fans of Millwall suffered stab wounds. The racist abuse was directed at Millwall's players of African origin, including Paul Ifill.<ref>Template:Cite newsTemplate:Cbignore</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

On 17 July 2013, Ferencváros fans fought with police after a friendly match against Leeds United, which ended in a 1–0 victory over the Championship club, in Murska Sobota, Slovenia.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

On 19 July 2014, UEFA issued sanctions against Ferencváros and Diósgyőr and Slovakia's Spartak Trnava, following racist behaviour by their fans during 2014–15 UEFA Europa League qualifying matches against Maltese sides Sliema Wanderers, Birkirkara and Hibernians respectively. Ferencváros were the hardest hit by the UEFA measures as club were fined by €20,000 and the partial closure of their stadium following monkey chants and racist banners displayed in both legs in Malta and Hungary.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

On 27 January 2015, Gábor Kubatov, president of the club, said that he would have the fines paid by the supporters. Kubatov aims to cease the racism and violence at the stadium.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

On 9 February 2015, UEFA refused the appeal of Ferencváros in connection with the incidents before and after the 2014–15 UEFA Europa League qualifying match between NK Rijeka and Ferencváros. According to the verdict, Ferencváros supporters were not allowed to attend the following UEFA match at home.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
