history

Szombathelyi AK, SzAK for short, was founded in 1912 as Szombathelyi Iparosok Kereskedők és Munkások TK ( German  gymnastics club of merchants, craftsmen and workers from Szombathely ). In 1913 the name changed to Szombathelyi Athletikai Klub ( German  Athletics Club from Szombathely ). In the 1912/13 season he first took part in the Hungarian country championship in the Transdanubia group, but could not qualify for the national finals. After the end of the First World War he was added to the group West. He was able to win this for the first time in the 1919/20 season , a final round did not take place due to the Hungarian-Romanian War . In the following season the SzAK reached the semi-finals. In the 1922/23 season , the club reached the final of the provincial clubs' country championship and won it with a 7-0 win against Kecskeméti AC . This success was repeated in the 1923/24 season . SzAK also reached the final round in the following two years.

When the Hungarian professional league was launched in 1926 , the SzAK founded a team of professional players under the name Sabaria Labdarúgók Szövetkezete ( German  Sabaria football community ), named after the Roman settlement Savaria , on whose walls the city of Szombathely stands. The team finished both the 1926/27 and 1927/28 seasons in fourth place. At the end of the 1928/29 season , Sabaria had to relegate bottom of the table. The name was changed to Sabaria Football Club and the immediate resurgence achieved. After two more seasons, Sabaria FC rose again at the end of the 1931/32 season .

The club dissolved the professional team and continued to play in the amateur leagues under the new name Szombathelyi FC . In 1940 he was promoted to the Nemzeti Bajnokság II . After the end of the Second World War , the club returned to its previous name, Szombathelyi AK , and dissolved in 1949.
