About
Ferencvárosi TC, affectionately known across Hungary as Fradi, stands as one of the nation's most storied football clubs. Founded in Budapest's ninth district back in 1899, the team has carved out an impressive domestic record, securing the top-tier Nemzeti Bajnokság I title a remarkable 36 times. Their trophy cabinet also boasts 24 Magyar Kupa victories and 6 Szuperkupa wins, making them the undisputed record holders in these Hungarian competitions. The club commands the largest fanbase in Hungary and is a multi-sport institution with divisions in women's football, handball, futsal, ice hockey, and water polo, among others.
Beyond national borders, Ferencváros boasts a significant European pedigree. Their crowning achievement came in the 1964–65 season when they lifted the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, triumphing over Juventus in the final. The club also reached the final of this competition again in 1968 and made it to the European Cup Winners' Cup final in 1975, showcasing a consistent presence on the continental stage throughout the mid-20th century. The club's iconic green and white colors are instantly recognizable, as is their mascot, the green eagle, which has earned them the nickname 'The Green Eagles'.
History
Established in 1899, Ferencvárosi TC quickly became a dominant force in Hungarian football. The club's early success laid the foundation for its enduring legacy. Throughout the 20th century, Ferencváros consistently challenged for domestic titles, amassing an unparalleled collection of league championships and cup victories. Their most notable international triumph remains the 1965 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup title. The club continued to participate in European competitions regularly, reaching finals in both the Fairs Cup and the Cup Winners' Cup. In recent years, the club has maintained its status as a top contender in the Nemzeti Bajnokság I, securing further league titles and participating in the UEFA Europa League and Champions League qualifying rounds. The release of their 2026-27 third kit continues the club's tradition of engaging with its supporters through modern branding.
The club is also known for its passionate rivalry with other Budapest-based teams, most notably Budapest Honvéd FC. On the player front, while specific current squad details are best found on specialized football statistics sites, transfers like that of defender Griffin Garnett in February 2026 indicate ongoing squad development. The club also nurtures young talent through its U19 team, which has a detailed squad overview available for the 2026-27 season.
