titles and gained 7 Hungarian Cup victories. During the professional era the team could not repeat the same performance but still won 2 championships. Due to the participation of many Jewish figures in the club, it had the reputation of being a "Jewish" team beginning in the 1930s and 1940s,
a phenomenon that continues to the present.
In 1949 when Hungary became a communist state
, MTK were taken over by the secret police, the ÁVH

and including Péter Palotás
, Nándor Hidegkuti
, Mihály Lantos
and József Zakariás
, they won three Hungarian League
titles, a Hungarian Cup and a Mitropa Cup
. In 1955, as Vörös Lobogó SE, they also became the first ever Hungarian team to play in a European Cup. On September 7, 1955 at the Népstadion, Palotás scored a hat-trick
as they beat RSC Anderlecht 6–3 in the first leg of the first round and thus became the first player to score a hat-trick in a European Cup game.
MTK also played a major role in the success of the legendary Hungary
team known as the Mighty Magyars. While Honvéd
provided the team with a nucleus of players, it was Márton Bukovi
at MTK who developed the vital 4–2–4 formation, later adopted by national coach Gusztáv Sebes
, himself a former MTK player. It was also at MTK that Bukovi together with, Péter Palotás
and Nándor Hidegkuti
, also pioneered the crucial deep lying centre-forward position. In 1953 Hidegkuti would exploit this position to great effect as he scored a hat-trick for Hungary when they beat England
6–3
at Wembley Stadium. In addition Mihály Lantos
and József Zakariás
provided the Mighty Magyars with a solid defence. During the early 1950s these MTK players helped Hungary become Olympic Champions
in 1952, Central European Champions in 1953, defeat England
twice and reach the 1954 World Cup final

Foundation
About a dozen sport loving citizens decided on 16 November 1888 in a cafe in Budapest to form the Magyar Testgyakorlók Köre (Circle of Hungarian Fitness Activists). Many founding fathers were members of the Hungarian aristocracy and the wealthy Jewish community of the capital. The colours of the club became blue and white, and it had 31 members by the end of the same year. The club's first divisions offered sporting possibilities only for fencing and gymnastics. As football was spreading far and wide in Hungary also the club established its football division on 12 March 1901. The first public football match of the Blues was a 0–0 draw against BTC, which later became Hungarian champions in 1901 and 1902. MTK started to play football in the 2nd league in 1902, but a year later the club got the chance to play in the first league. The first year brought the club a 3rd place and it did not take long for the Blues to win the first championship, which happened a year later in 1904.Amateur Era
The first president of the club became a well-to-do entrepreneur, his vice a close friend of him who turned out to be an excellent sport oriented organiser. His name was Alfréd Brüll who became the club's legendary and respected president from 1905 until the 1940s. Before the introduction of professional football MTK was the most successful Hungarian team. Prior to the Second World War the team managed to win 15 Hungarian LeagueHungarian League
