The club's nickname is Fradi.

Gábor Kubatov, the current president of the club, graduated as a technological vehicle appraiser from the agricultural mechanical engineering faculty of the Gödöll? University of Agricultural Sciences in 1997.

Some films that have used Budapest for shots include Munich (2005), Underworld (2003) and the 2013 film, World War Z.

Norwich has its fair share of celebrity fans and Ferencváros are no different, holding Hungary's first Formula One driver Zsolt Baumgartner, who raced for Jordan and Minardi and even a chess grandmaster named Péter Lékó in their ranks.

Budapest has some fantastic landmarks such as Budapest's largest church, St. Stephen's Basilica (known as Szent István Bazilika), the Museum of Fine Arts and the very busy Vörösmarty Square.

Some important Hungarian holidays are: 15 March - The anniversary of the Austrian rule revolution and 20 August. St. Stephen's day, to celebrate the Hungarian state's founder.

Ferencváros are Hungary's most successful professional football club having won their domestic title 28 times. They also won the Fairs Cup – now the Europa League - in 1965 by beating Juventus.

The 'Green Eagles' are currently managed by German Thomas Doll, former boss of HSV and Borussia Dortmund, but were coached by Englishmen Bobby Davison and Craig Short between 2008 and 2010.
