Friendships

[edit]

The fans have friendships with fans of Rapid Wien[7] and Panathinaikos, and as all three play in Green the alliance is nicknamed the "Green Brothers". They also have friendly relations in Hungary with fans of Zalaegerszeg and in Poland with Śląsk Wrocław and Bałtyk Gdynia.

Rivalries

[edit]

Ferencváros have rivalry with several teams from Budapest including MTK Budapest, Újpest, Honvéd, Vasas SC, and several provincial clubs such as Debrecen and Diósgyőr.

The biggest rivalry is with Újpest, which dates back to the 1930s when Újpest won their first Hungarian Football League title. Since then, the fixture between the two teams attracts the most spectators in the domestic league.[8] The matches between the two teams often end in violence which causes big trouble for the Hungarian football. The proposal of personal registration was refused by both clubs.

The fixture between Ferencváros and MTK Budapest FC is called the Örökrangadó or Eternal derby. It is the oldest football rivalry in Hungary, which dates back as early as the 1903 football season when Ferencváros first won the Hungarian League. In the following three decades either Ferencváros or MTK Budapest won the domestic league.

Bp. Honvéd are also considered fierce rivals as the clubs are in very close proximity to each other and in the past frequently competed for honours.
