Early history

The men's handball department of the Ferencvárosi Torna Club, as well as the women's handball team, were founded in 1950. The history of Nemzeti Bajnokság I began in 1954, with significant initial successes. In 1955, they won a silver medal. In 1956, they were able to celebrate a shared championship title, although no gold medal was awarded, as the announcement of the result of the final against Vörös Meteor in October 1956, which was rigged due to political pressure, was first washed away by the popular anger of the fans, and then the match, which was called for a replay after the warning, was thwarted by the revolution. The decision that Ferencváros was also champion was made months later, in 1957.[1] They won a silver medal in 1957, bronze medals in 1958 and 1962, and won the Hungarian Cup in 1963.

1963-2010

In the decades that followed, the band moved between the Nemzeti Bajnokság I and Nemzeti Bajnokság I/B, during which they were able to register a greater success, the 1980 Nemzeti Bajnokság I championship silver medal. At the end of the 2008-2009 season, they won the championship in the Nemzeti Bajnokság I/B, so they were again classified in the highest division. Former player and coach of Pick Szeged, Vladan Matić, was appointed as coach,[2] with the aim of fighting to stay in. At the end of the season, Matić's team finished in 9th place. In the 2009-2010 season, the team could also compete in the international cup, in the EHF Cup Winners' Cup, as Gyöngyösi KK, the 2009 Hungarian Cup bronze medalist, did not undertake to compete in the international series for financial reasons. Ferencváros joined the cup series in the 3rd round, where the opponent was the Slovenian RK Koper. The Ferencváros team suffered 2 defeats and bid farewell to international cup participation.[3][4]

2010-Present day

At the beginning of the 2010-2011 season, such players as Dániel Buday, Igor Kos, György Bakos, Teodor Paul came to the team. This team was able to stand on the podium again after the 1980 championship season: it won a bronze medal in front of Tatabánya Carbonex KC. This season, the team also achieved good results in the Hungarian Cup. In the 4th round, an Ferencvárosi TC-Pick Szeged match was held to reach the top 8. Ferencvárosi TC succeeded in overcoming the obstacle: they eliminated Pick Szeged with a 25:24 victory at home. In the next round of the cup, in order to reach the semi-finals, the capital city should have played against MKB Veszprém KC, but after disputing the circumstances of the promotion, they did not do so and withdrew from the cup.[5] In the summer of 2011, Vladan Matić became the head coach of the Slovenian RK Celje.[6] Thanks to the championship bronze medal, the handball players also won the right to participate in the international cup competition, the EHF Cup. It is true, as it turned out later, that Ferencváros will merge with the PLER KC[7] team, so it will be able to compete in the EHF Cup Winners' Cup in the international competition (PLER KC played in the Hungarian Cup final and thus earned the right to start in the aforementioned series.) The band played under the name PLER-FTC for two years, in the first joint season they finished seventh and then fifth in the championship. In the summer of 2013, the two clubs separated, and Ferencváros has been in the second division since then.[8] In the 2016-17 season, the team won the second division championship undefeated, so it could play in Nemzeti Bajnokság I again from the following season.
