The term 'örökrangadó' has been used since 1935.[2] Before the English word 'derby' was used to describe the rivalry between MTK and Ferencváros. In 1933, the sports newspaper in Hungary announced a contest to find a Hungarian word for the English word derby. The competition was won by Gyula Bendekovits, a barber from Salgótarján. Other possible terms were éltusa, újudvar, and színe-java.
The first match between Ferencváros and MTK was played in the 1903 Nemzeti Bajnokság I season on 1 March 1903 at Millenáris Sporttelep. The match was won by Ferencváros (3-1).[3]
Until 1931, the fixture between the Ferencváros and MTK Budapest was called by the English word "derby". However, from 1931 the term Örökrangadó was used which was coined by Gyula Bendekovics, a barber assistant, in a contest organised by a sports paper.[4]
MTK won the 1932 Hungarian Cup, by defeating FTC 4–3, in a game where Ferencváros scrambled a 0–2 lead. 3 years later, the team from the 9th district exacted revenge, as they beat MTK in the 1935 Hungarian cup final. in 1940, as a response to the tighter restrictions on Jewish people in Hungary, MTK disbanded, due to the club's heavy Jewish-affiliation. After the Second World War ended, MTK were founded again, and saw some success, namely winning the 1951, 1953 and 1957/58 national championships, and would not leave the top 3 for 10 seasons. However, by 1941, Ferencváros had overtaken MTK in terms of national championships, and while MTK faced a title-drought after 1958, that spanned nearly three decades, Ferencváros, who had a title-drought of their own, between 1949 and 1963, won an additional 6 national championships by the time MTK were champions again, in 1987.

In April they defeated Ferencváros 4-0, and in November MTK hammered Ferencváros 5-0 at Üllői út, thanks to a hat-trick from János Molnár, handing FTC their most serious home defeat since Újpest beat them with the same scoreline in May of 1949.
