Budafoki MTE (officially: Budafoki Munkás Testedző Egyesület ; German workers' sports club Budafok ) is a Hungarian sports club from the capital Budapest . Home and namesake of the association is the XXII. District Budafok Tétény , which until 1950 was an independent municipality, and then in the western district of Buda was incorporated. The colors of the club, founded in 1912, are red and black.
history
In 1912, the Világosság Football Csapat was founded in Budafok, which at that time was still an independent municipality . In the period between the two world wars, the team played mainly in the second-rate Nemzeti Bajnokság II , but was also briefly represented in the first division in the 1945/46 season, for example . In 1950 Budafok was incorporated into the capital together with municipalities such as Újpest and Kispest , as a result of which the Budapest club Budapesti Gyárépítők SE and Budafoki MTE merged, and for the 1951/52 season they played first class again for a year. After the fall of the Iron Curtain and the end of communist rule in Hungary, the club, like many others, threatened to collapse. The state wine producer Hungarovin , who had previously acted as the main sponsor and financier, was bought by the German Henkell & Co. Sektkellerei in the course of advancing privatization . The company also planned to buy the club's stadium and thus get more production space. With the help of Sándor Vízi , today's chairman, and Rezső Gallow , however, the venue was saved.
In 2015 János Jakab , former Budafoki player, became the new club president; In that year, after various name changes, the name Budafoki MTE , which was in use between 1919 and 1950, was returned. With the help of the Hungarian-Jakabs was Australian entrepreneur Róbert Bélteky that already the Australian A-League - Franchise Melbourne Victory had to be made to the Hungarian club to invest. According to his own statements, Bélteky wanted to take over a club that was "not in the top division" and that he could see "grow and prosper". Eventually the entrepreneur acquired 95% of the shares in the association. As a result, Budafoki MTE, now in the Budapest city league, was able to move up to the third-class Nemzeti Bajnokság III and, under head coach László Prukner, advance to the semi-finals of the national cup in spring 2017 and win the third division title.
In the summer of 2020, they returned to the top Hungarian league again. While the first division continued to play after an interruption as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic , the second division season was not continued. The two best teams at that time were allowed to move up to the Nemzeti Bajnokság, which were the two Budapest clubs MTK and Budafoki.
