History

edit

The club was founded in January 1989 by Csaba Mátyás and among the founders were a number of former judo and canoeing internationals.[1] They played their first match on 15 March 1989 when they took on the now-defunct Érdi Darazsak (Wasps of Érd). In their first full season they won promotion to Nemzeti Bajnokság I, only to be relegated back to Nemzeti Bajnokság II.
