About Kecskeméti TE

Kecskeméti TE is a Hungarian football club based in the city of Kecskemét, founded in 1911 as Kecskeméti Testedző Egyesület. It was originally created as a local sports association with strong community involvement, especially from workers and local residents. The club plays its home matches at the Széktói Stadion and is traditionally associated with purple and white colours.

For most of its history, Kecskemét competed in the lower divisions of Hungarian football, with only occasional appearances in the top tier. The club’s modern breakthrough came in the 2000s and early 2010s, when it rapidly climbed the league system. Its most significant achievement was winning the Hungarian Cup in the 2010–11 season, which also earned it qualification for European competition.

In recent years, Kecskeméti TE has established itself as a competitive top-flight club, even achieving a remarkable second-place finish in the Hungarian league in the 2022–23 season. This success allowed the team to compete in European qualifiers, marking one of the strongest periods in its history. Today, the club is considered a stable and ambitious side within Hungarian football.
