The Kaposvári Rákóczi FC is a football club in Kaposvár , a medium-sized city in southwest Hungary . The association is named after Franz II. Rákóczi , a hero of the Hungarian struggle for freedom at the beginning of the 18th century. With reference to Somogy County , where the association is based, it is also often called Somogyiak . Founded in 1923 by workers at the local sugar factory, the colors of the association are green and white. The club plays its home games in the Rákoczi Stadium , which has a capacity of around 7,000.
The team rose for the first time in 1975 in the first Hungarian league, the Nemzeti Bajnokság I , and was initially able to hold there for three years. In the 1980s, the club rose two more times from the NB I and spent the years up to the return to the first class in 2004 in the second and third division. In the 2005/06 and 06/07 seasons, the team finished 7th, which is their greatest success so far.
The great Hungarian footballer Ferenc Bene (1944-2006) played in his youth until 1961 for Kaposvár. Also Stefan Auer was in the 1940s, a time player and coach of the club, as this still Kaposvári Rákóczi SC said.
