History


The first golden era

The ETO was founded in 1904, but the women's handball section was not created until 1948. The first edition of the Hungarian Championship was held in 1951. President János Lang and department leader Vilmos Joósz started to build the first "golden team" in the mid-fifties. The members of the first team that succeeded were Magdolna Matulay, Ilona Dittrich, Magdolna Novák, Ilona Szalai, and Éva Boudny. At the beginning, the coach of the team was Pál Kellner, but he emigrated to

after the 1956 revolution, so the team was in a need for a new coach. Károly Varga took over the responsibility, but after the summer break, he was replaced by László Stéger. In 1957, ETO won their first Hungarian Championship title - in their first season playing in the top level championship - after a victory in the final round against Goldberger. Multiple players missed the 1958 Championship due to pregnancy, therefore the team finished at the disappointing eighth position. The new year however brought success again, thanks to signing one of the greatest players of the era, Magda Jóna. ETO won the 1959 Championship, while Jóna became the topscorer with 225 goals scored. The successful performance continued, in 1960 they finished second behind Bp. Spartacus.


Towards the end

After Magda Jóna left the team in 1960, the success seemed to avoid the club as well. Between 1961 and 1965, ETO reached only a fourth and an eleventh position, while László Stéger left the bench. His replacement was Jenő Kheim. In 1966, ETO finished 13th and was relegated from the

. They gained promotion to the first league once more for a season, but could not make their good run last long, since they were relegated even from the third division. The club of ETO decided to terminate the handball department.


More than a decade without ETO

Between 1980 and 1992, the handball team in Győr went through several struggles. They either played in the lower championships or were considered as a "middle team" in the first league. There were several name changes in the club's life, including Győri Vasas or Győri Richards. In 1992, Győri ETO Kézilabda Club was established, which was owned by the Municipality of Győr. The president was Attila Vanyus (between 1992 and 2012), who built up the successful club we know today with his persistent, hard work.


ETO has returned

From 1993, a really strong team was formed in Győr. Players like Mariann Horváth, Beáta Hoffmann,
