About Csepel SC

Csepel SC is a Hungarian sports club based in the Csepel district of Budapest, founded in 1912. The club originally started as a gymnastics association and later developed into a multi-sport organization, with football becoming its most prominent section. It has traditionally represented the working-class island community in southern Budapest and has used several names throughout its history before settling on Csepel SC.

The football team experienced its golden era in the mid-20th century. Csepel SC won the Hungarian top division four times, with championship titles in 1941–42, 1942–43, 1947–48, and 1958–59. During this period, the club was one of the strongest teams in the country and regularly competed at the top level of Hungarian football.

On the international stage, Csepel had limited but notable participation, including appearances in European competitions in the 1960 season. Over time, the club’s football department declined, eventually being dissolved in the early 2000s after financial and structural difficulties. Despite this, Csepel SC remains an important historical name in Hungarian sport, with a long legacy and success across multiple disciplines beyond football.
