Budapest Honvéd was established in 1909. The team enjoyed a golden age during the 1950s when it was renamed Budapesti Honvéd SE and became the Hungarian Army team. The club's top players from this era, Ferenc Puskás, Sándor Kocsis, József Bozsik, Zoltán Czibor, and Gyula Grosics helped the club win the Hungarian League four times during the 1950s and also formed the nucleus of the legendary Hungarian national team popularly known as the Mighty Magyars.During the 1980s and early 1990s, the club enjoyed another successful period, winning a further eight Hungarian League titles. They also won league and cup doubles in 1985 and 1989. In 1991, the club was renamed Kispest Honvéd FC and adopted its current name in 2003. Budapest Honvéd is coached by Tam Courts of Scotland this season. 

 

“I know Honved as a team with very solid defense that is very difficult to break through. However, we have analyzed our opponent's game and will see to score goals anyway. In a home match we do not have any other objective than victory and I hope that fans will help us at that”, said Cherchesov to the official website of Ferencvaros before the match.
