Videoton Football Club (Hungarian pronunciation: [?vid?oton ?f t?se?]) is a Hungarian professional football club based in Székesfehérvár, in the west of Hungary, playing in the first division Hungarian League. Videoton won the Hungarian League title in 2011 for the first time in its history, one Hungarian Cup trophy, three times Hungarian League Cup winners and two Hungarian Super Cup successes. Videoton is best known in Europe for reaching the 1985 UEFA Cup Final.
Videoton was founded in 1941 and its colours are blue and red. The club has played at its home ground, Sóstói Stadion, since 1967.
The second most successful era has been the last 3–4 years, which has seen the club win its first Hungarian League title in 2011 and managing to reach the group stages of the Europa League in the 2012/2013 season.
The name of the football club, Videoton, comes from the eponymous privately owned Hungarian company, Contract Electronics Manufacturer (CEM), the largest independent Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) provider in the CEE region, in the TOP 30 worldwide, TOP 10 in EU according to the latest ranking of MMI.
Founded in 1941 as Székesfehérvári Vadásztölténygyár SK by the defense manufacturing company Székesfehérvári Vadásztölténygyár, the club was made up of workers of the local factory in its early years.
The team first entered the Fejér County Championship in 1942/43 and went on to win the championship.
In 1948 the club was broken into three teams, with one team playing in the NB III (Third Division of the National Championship), one in the County Championship and the third one in the Second division of the County Championship. In 1950, the workers of the factory assembled their own team in the hope of achieving better results, and the club was renamed Vadásztölténygyári Vasas on 10 March.
Later on they eventually agreed on 3 January 1956, that all teams would join forces in a unified team built on Vadásztölténygyár. In that season the team won the County Championship by a very wide margin, and, after winning the following year's County Championship Winners Trophy, qualified for the second Division of the National Championship for the 1957/58 season.
The 1960s
The first opportunity to play in Hungary's highest league came along only a few years later. In the 1961/62 season the team finished in third position – barely qualifying for the first division. Known then as VT Vasas, the dream finally came true in 1967 when the team finished second in the second division and was promoted to the top league.
On 22 January 1968, the club was renamed Videoton SC, due to a sponsorship agreement with the electrical goods manufacturer Videoton. The first season in the top league wasn't very successful. The team won 9 games but lost 18 matches, finishing in fifteenth place, which resulted in them being relegated.
However, the following year, Videoton bounced back and won the second division. The next five years saw the club consolidate its position in the first division by finishing tenth, seventh, fifth, fourth and again fifth. Then in the 1975/76 season the team achieved the best position in its history by finishing second.
Videoton went on to produce modest results in the ensuing years, failing to finish in the top three on four occasions. Finally, in 1982, the Fehervar club reached the final of the Hungarian Cup, but were defeated 2–0 by Újpest. This was the beginning of the club's golden age. In 1984, the team finished third with the same number of points as ETO Gy?r, who finished second, but due only to a superior head-to-head performance. That season saw, József Szabó become the top goal-scorer in the 1st division with 19 goals.
On 18 September 1984, the UEFA Cup success story began. The club caught international attention when it reached the 1985 UEFA Cup Final during a campaign under the management of Ferenc Kovács. In the UEFA Cup 1984–85 season Videoton overcame Dukla Prague (1-0/0-0) in the first round, Paris Saint-Germain FC (4-2/2-0) in the second round, FK Partizan (0-2/5-0) in the third round.They then had further success in the quarter-finals where Videoton played against Manchester United. At Old Trafford, Manchester United beat Videoton by a 1–0 scoreline with the only goal coming from Frank Stapleton. The return leg in Székesfehérvár saw Videoton beat the English team 1–0.In the penalty shootout Videoton won 5–4. In the semi-finals Videoton played Yugoslav) FK Željezni?ar. In the first leg in Fehervar, Videoton won and it proved enough to overcome their Yugoslavian opponents after losing 2–1 in Sarajevo.
In the final they came up against Spanish giantsReal Madrid. The first leg match was played at a packed out stadium in Székesfehérvár, which saw Videoton lose 3–0 in front of a record 38,000 spectators at the Stadion Sóstói. Ferenc Kovacs' side then flew out to Madrid for the return leg at the Bernabéu Videoton famously beat Real Madrid by 1–0 but lost 3–1 on aggregate. The only goal of that memorable match was scored by Lajos Májer in the 86th minute. In the Hungarian domestic championship Videoton once again finished in third place.
This was the beginning of a period for the club, which saw them go upwards and develop. After winning the Second Division and gaining promotion in 2000, the teamed once again reached the cup final in 2001, losing 5–2 to Debrecen.
This led to the team's only participation in the Intertoto Cup, where they were defeated by PFC Marek Dupnitsa in the first round. In 2005, the club changed its name to FC Fehérvar.
The next year saw the club's most successful domestic year. After a third place finish, the first in 21 years, the team finally won the Hungarian Cup for the first time by defeating Vasas SC 6–5 in a penalty shoot-out, after the match had finished 2–2 after extra time.
A brand new main stand was erected and handed over in 2004. Videoton were close to bankruptcy when businessman István Garancsi rescued the club. He brought financial stability and a resurgence in fortunes on the pitch. 2008 saw the team win the first ever League Cup by defeating Debrecen 3–0 on aggregate (Home 1–0; Away 2–0). They won the League cup again in 2009, this time beating Pécsi FC 3–1 in the final.
Being the favourite football club of the Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, Videoton FC co-operates with Puskas Akademia, Felcsut. From 2010 some of the most wealthy Hungarian millionaires started to appear in the VIP of the team (e.g. Mr Sandor Csanyi, president of the Hungarian bank OTP and the Hungarian Football Association) by the side of the Prime Minister.
That's why supporters of rival teams often think that Videoton FC gets financial and other help from the politics and the referees.[19] Videoton FC entered into a joint working relationship with the Puskás Academy in Felcsút.
In July 2009 György Mezey (formerly champion with MTK and Budapest Honvéd) was appointed as the manager of the club. At the beginning of the Hungarian National Championship 2009–10 season, the club reassumed the Videoton name. In 2010 Videoton FC were leading the Hungarian National Championship I 2009–10 for many weeks,but in the end their rivals Debreceni VSC won the championship. The team finished second, and qualified for the Europa League. In January 2010 György Sándor joined the team from Újpest FC. In June 2010, Videoton signed Bojan Djordjic
