Football in Hungary

<h2 id="history">History</h2>
The first-ever football club to be founded in Hungary was <a href="/facts/Budapesti_TC/uo61kaNo">Budapesti Torna Club</a> having founded its football section in February 1897, dissolved in 1945–46. BTC is soon followed by the founding of the football sections of other important sport clubs in the city: the Magyar Úszó Egylet (MUE), the Budai Football Csapat, the <a href="/facts/M%C5%B1egyetemi_AFC/LJHXzACH">Müegyetemi FC</a> (MFC, later MAFC), the Magyar Athletikai Club (MAC) and the Budapesti Budai Torna Egylet (BBTC).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4">4</a> Most of the associations were already operational in other sports and set up their football divisions after the popularisation that came with the first local an international games played by BTC and its followers. The first match between clubs to be played came on 6 February 1898 when BTC played against Müegyetemi FC, with the later winning 5–0 despite BTC having trained the MFC players previously. Nowadays the oldest still active football clubs in Hungary are <a href="/facts/M%C5%B1egyetemi_AFC/LJHXzACH">Műegyetemi FC</a> founded on 1 November of 1897 as a purely football club<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5">5</a> and <a href="/facts/III._Ker%C3%BCleti_TVE/NsdWVmEw">III. Kerületi TVE</a>, whose football section was officially opened in 1899 but stemmed from the Budai Football Csapat founded on 31 October 1897.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:6" href="#fn:6">6</a>
The <a href="/facts/Hungarian_Football_Federation/QTJY3Hh2">Hungarian Football Federation</a> (<a href="/facts/Hungarian_language/nt4g0ano">Hungarian</a>: Magyar Labdarúgó Szövetség or MLSZ), the sport's national governing body, was founded on 19 January 1901 by 13 clubs: BAK, BEAC, BSC, <a href="/facts/Budapesti_TC/uo61kaNo">Budapesti TC</a>, Budai Ganzgyár, Ganz Vagongyár, <a href="/facts/33_FC/Wwm5merP">"33" FC</a>, MAC, Magyar FC, <a href="/facts/Magyar_%C3%9Asz%C3%B3_Egylet/HenEoEer">Magyar ÚE</a>, <a href="/facts/M%C5%B1egyetemi_AFC/LJHXzACH">Műegyetemi FC</a>, Postás, <a href="/facts/Ferencv%C3%A1rosi_TC/AjDMlw1u">FTC</a>, who took part in the first championship in 2 tiers that same year. The philosoph Jász Géza of Magyar FC, was nominated the first president of the MLSZ. Vice-presidents were nominated Ferenc Gillemot (MAFC) and Árpád Füzeséry (MUE), secretary general Ferenc Horváth (FTC), treasurer Gabona Károly (Budapesti TC), inspector Ignác Boros (BSC), accountants Róbert Békés (Ganz), Andor Telkes and Ferenc Eisner, and honorary president Károly Iszer (BTC).
<a href="/facts/Hungary/YRedQLtI">Hungary</a> were regular features at major tournaments, such as the first <a href="/facts/Olympic_Games/TXbdPIVS">Olympic</a> Football Tournament (<a href="/facts/Stockholm/sD74W4Pm">Stockholm</a> 1912) and many <a href="/facts/FIFA_World_Cup/pGI0SF7r">FIFA World Cup</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:7" href="#fn:7">7</a> They were the first non-<a href="/facts/United_Kingdom/kuPAILt2">UK</a> team to <a href="/facts/England_v_Hungary_(1953)/uFPh6IzX">beat</a> <a href="/facts/England_national_football_team/N71IuE3t">England</a> at <a href="/facts/Wembley_Stadium_(1923)/Rm4uUK6k">Wembley Stadium</a> with their 6–3 victory in 1953.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:8" href="#fn:8">8</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:9" href="#fn:9">9</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:10" href="#fn:10">10</a> The golden age of Hungarian football took place in the 1950s, with the emergence of players of the caliber of <a href="/facts/Ferenc_Pusk%C3%A1s/5FEkXerl">Ferenc Puskás</a>, <a href="/facts/L%C3%A1szl%C3%B3_Kubala/VsUs87lx">László Kubala</a>, <a href="/facts/Zolt%C3%A1n_Czibor/94g6qNt5">Zoltán Czibor</a>, <a href="/facts/S%C3%A1ndor_Kocsis/tfkFnAWK">Sándor Kocsis</a>, <a href="/facts/N%C3%A1ndor_Hidegkuti/d4e2ECTV">Nándor Hidegkuti</a>, <a href="/facts/Ferenc_Szusza/lwPCq2Sm">Ferenc Szusza</a>, <a href="/facts/J%C3%B3zsef_Bozsik/MTd5AraW">József Bozsik</a> & <a href="/facts/Gyula_Grosics/u8dDobSC">Gyula Grosics</a>. This team (with the exception of Kubala, who only played 3 games with Hungary before playing for Spain) was known as the <a href="/facts/Golden_Team/eL4Lyc9v">Golden Team</a> and remained undefeated for 32 consecutive games, winning the gold medal in the <a href="/facts/1952_Summer_Olympic_Games/mQN3vx63">1952 Olympic Games</a> in Helsinki and reaching the final in the <a href="/facts/1954_FIFA_World_Cup/CUzGsByJ">1954 World Cup</a> in Switzerland, always with Ferenc Puskás as a star (84 goals in 85 matches playing for the Hungary national football team). The twilight of this team that marveled the world came with the <a href="/facts/Hungarian_Revolution_of_1956/Dtv12syC">Hungarian Revolution of 1956</a>, and after a match of the European Champion's Cup Budapest Honvéd in Bilbao, many of the stars like Czibor, Kocsis and Puskás decided not to return to their country and sign for teams from Western Europe, meaning his retirement from the national team. Puskás joined Real Madrid in 1958, winning three European Cups and debuting with the <a href="/facts/Spain_national_football_team/YYgXHa7g">Spain national football team</a> in 1961, while Czibor and Kocsis joined FC Barcelona.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:11" href="#fn:11">11</a> In 1967, the Ferencváros T.C. <a href="/facts/Fl%C3%B3ri%C3%A1n_Albert/8Xa8o0va">Flórián Albert</a> became the inaugural Hungarian to win the Golden Ball, surpassing the second place achieved by Puskás seven years before.
