Hungarian football club
Football club
The club was founded on February 6, 1910, by Ferenc Frei, a mining engineer. At this time several Hungarian towns outside of Budapest had formed football teams – Debrecen, Miskolc, Győr.
The First World War weakened the team, but in the 1920s the club was still without a doubt the most popular in Tatabánya. Professionalism was introduced into the Hungarian League, but the team couldn't afford this, and stuck with amateur players. After the end of the Second World War in 1947 the team reached the first division.
After the disqualification from the 2016–17 Nemzeti Bajnokság III season, the club merged with Tatabánya FCE which won the second tier of Komárom-Esztergom division in 2017–18. The new formation failed to rebound back to NB III after close 1–0 defeat against Bicske.
During the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic in Hungary with Tatabánya being the first in the first tier of Komárom-Esztergom they got promoted for 2020–21 season.
On 9 June 2024, Tatabánya secure promotion to NB II from 2024–25 after defeat Békéscsaba 1-2 and win aggregate 3-4 in 2023–24 NB III promotion play-off, the club return to second tier after 10 year absence.
