A standout figure of the team was goalkeeper Anna Rothermel Elekné, who was considered the best goalkeeper of her time both domestically and internationally.

The 1980s

The successful series starting with the first championship gold was followed by a decline in the 1980s. The team finished in the middle ranks or lower. The only exception was the 1987 championship when Fradi finished in third place. In this decade, the Hungarian People's Republic Cup brought a silver medal for the team (1985).


Successes of the 1990s

The foundations of the second golden era were laid by András Németh. Under his leadership, the team achieved its first result in the 1992/93 season, a silver medal. This was followed by gold a year later, so after 23 years, in 1993–94, Ferencváros won the championship again. The champion team of that time included Mária Bregócs, Andrea Farkas,

The Fradi girls also won the next three championships. The 1994/1995 season was completed with a 100% performance: 30 matches, 30 victories. This successful era lasted for 16 years, with the team finishing first seven times, second four times, and third five times. Cup successes also followed: they won the cup again in 1993, and then in 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 2001, and 2003. They also achieved two second places (1998, 1999). The master of this second golden era was András Németh, from whom legendary players emerged, such as goalkeepers Andrea Farkas and Tímea Sugár, and field players Beatrix Kökény,

New Era

From 2008, the team was taken over by Gábor Elek, son of former successful coach Gyula Elek. The rejuvenated team's first success was a silver medal in the 2008/2009 season and a cup silver in 2010. Another podium finish followed in the league, with Ferencváros finishing third in the 2010/2011 season. In the 2014/2015 season, the team reached the Hungarian Cup final and won the Hungarian championship by defeating the Győri Audi ETO KC team twice in the playoffs under Gábor Elek's leadership.

In the season, Ferencváros finished second in both the Hungarian Cup and the championship and was eliminated in the quarterfinals of the Champions League against the Russian Rostov-Don team.

However, in the league, Ferencváros celebrated a championship victory again after six years, the 13th in its history. In the following two seasons, the team led by Gábor Elek celebrated Hungarian Cup victories. Before the 2022–2023 season, it had been twenty-nine years since the green-white team won the domestic cup series in two consecutive years. On 7 May 2023, the team reached the

of the Champions League for the first time in its history after defeating the French Metz Handball team 33–26 away, winning 59–58 overall. After the match, it was officially announced that Gábor Elek would leave the team at the end of the season after fifteen seasons. In the Final Four of the Champions League, they first defeated the Danish Team Esbjerg by one goal in a tough match, but in the final, they were defeated by the twice-defending champion Norwegian Vipers Kristiansand, featuring Anna Vjahirjeva, Katrine Lunde, and Markéta Jeřábková, with a score of 28–24.


International Successes

* Ferencváros achieved its first major international result in the 1970/71 season when it reached the final of the European Champions Cup. They lost to the Spartak Kiev, which was equal to the then world-leading Soviet team, 11–9 in a close match, thus becoming silver medalists. * In the Cup Winners' Cup, however, Ferencváros succeeded: they won the series in the 1977/1978 season. In the final, they defeated the East German team SC Leipzig 18–17 in the Kör Hall. The team also reached the Cup Winners' Cup final in the following year, 1978/1979, but the East German team TSC Berlin celebrated with a 20–15 result. * The team added another Cup Winners' Cup silver in 1994 when Walle Bremen proved to be better with a 45–44 aggregate score (23–21 at home, 24–21 away). In the 1995/1996 season, Ferencváros reached the semi-finals in the Champions League and repeated this performance in the following season. * In 2001, the team played in the Champions League semi-finals again. * In 2002, they almost achieved a miracle against Macedonian Kometal Skopje: after a home victory (27–25), the away match ended 22–26, so Ferencváros finished with a 51–49 aggregate score, earning a silver medal. * In the 2004–2005 season, the team reached the top four in the EHF Cup. * A year later, they surpassed their performance and won the EHF Cup in the 2005/2006 season. Ferencváros' opponent was the Croatian Podravka from Koprivnica, which they defeated with a 70–68 aggregate score (37–36 and 33–32). * In the 2006/2007 season, the team competed in the Cup Winners' Cup again and reached the semi-finals. * In the 2010/2011 season of the Cup Winners' Cup, Ferencváros finished first again, defeating strong opponents like

Ferencvárosi TC II

Ferencvárosi TC II is the junior team of Ferencvárosi TC women's handball club. They compete in the Nemzeti Bajnokság I/B, the second-tier league in Hungary. Although they play in the same league system as their senior team, rather than a separate league, they are ineligible for promotion to the Nemzeti Bajnokság I, since junior teams cannot play in the same division as their senior side.
