About Budapest Honvéd FC

Budapest Honvéd FC is a professional football club based in Budapest, Hungary, founded in 1909 originally as Kispesti AC. The club became one of the most important teams in Hungarian football, especially after being linked to the Hungarian Army in the mid-20th century. It plays its home matches at the Bozsik Aréna and is traditionally known for its red and black colors.

Honvéd experienced its greatest success during the 1950s, when it became the core of the legendary Hungarian national team often referred to as the “Golden Team.” With players such as Ferenc Puskás, Sándor Kocsis, and József Bozsik, the club dominated domestic football and helped revolutionize the European game. It won multiple league titles during this era and established itself as a powerhouse in Hungary and beyond.

After the golden era, the club went through periods of decline and revival, including strong success again in the 1980s and early 1990s when it won several national championships. In total, Honvéd has secured numerous Hungarian league titles and domestic cups, making it one of the country’s most decorated clubs. Today, it continues to compete in the Hungarian football system, maintaining its historic identity and role in developing Hungarian talent.
