'''Ferencvárosi Torna Club''' (FTC), also known as '''Ferencváros''', nicknamed '''Fradi''', is a sport club in [[Hungary]], founded in 1899 by Ferenc Springer and a group of local residents of Budapest's ninth district, Ferencváros. By far the best-known part of the club is the well-supported men's [[football (soccer)|football]] team. Other divisions include the women's football, women's handball, men's ice hockey, men's water polo, cycling, gymnastics, athletics, wrestling and swimming teams, some of which are highly successful.
The club facilities are located in [[Ferencváros]], the ninth District of [[Budapest]]. The club colours are green and white, and the club mascot is a green eagle; hence came another of the club's nicknames, 'The Green Eagles'.
Ferencváros, especially the football division stirs strong emotions among many fans in Hungary, backed by strong support but meeting some opposition. Its arch-rival is [[Újpest FC|Újpest]]; the Ferencváros-Újpest rivalry has in the past ignited some of the worst scenes of football-related violence in the country. Ferencvaros and Újpest ultras were infamous for their vandalism and many of them for their racist behaviour. Other rivals include [[Debreceni VSC|Debrecen]], [[MTK Hungária FC|MTK]], [[Budapest Honvéd FC|Kispest Honvéd]], and [[Vasas SC]].
The club runs a magazine named '''100% Fradi'''.
==Football==
Ferencváros participated in all the first division championships since the start of Hungarian Football Championships in 1901 until the 2006/07 season in which they were relegated (demoted) to the [[NB2]] for not meeting financial criteria.
They are the only football club in Hungary that hold a major European trophy, having won the [[Inter-Cities Fairs Cup]] in 1965.
Ferencváros were the first - and as yet only - Hungarian team to qualify for the [[UEFA Champions League]] group phase in [[UEFA Champions League 1995-96#Group_D|1995]] by beating [[R.S.C. Anderlecht|Anderlecht]] in the qualifying matches. Ferencváros beat [[Grasshopper-Club Zürich|Grasshoppers]] on away ground and held Grasshoppers and [[Real Madrid]] to a draw at home, but were eliminated in the [[UEFA Champions League 1995-96#Group_D|group stage]].
Since the 1990s, the club has had problems with some of its [[Hooliganism|unruly]] [[fan (aficionado)|fan]]s expressing [[Xenophobia|xenophobic]], [[Racism|racist]] and [[Anti-Semitism|anti-Semitic]] sentiments.
Ferencvárosi TC's stadium is named after [[Florián Albert]] and has a spectator capacity of 18,100.
In July of 2006, the club was removed from the Borsodi Liga as punishment for continued financial troubles. [http://sports.yahoo.com/sow/news;_ylt=AkAzfCnXTpZvqKOLv374MfMmw7YF?slug=reu-hungaryferencvaros&prov=reuters&type=lgns] The club has recently challenged the legality of this move in court. Ferencvaros has won the case as the verdict declared that the FA's move was against the law. An out-of-court agreement between the club and the Hungarian Football Association has been reached
In the season 2006/07, [[Nyíregyháza FC]] beat Ferencváros to promotion in a tight contest, ensuring that Ferencváros stays in the second league for a further season.
Recently, Ferencváros youth team has won the prestigious [[Foyle Cup]].
In February 2008 Kevin McCabe, chairman of English football club [[Sheffield United F.C.|Sheffield United]], finalised an agreement with the club to buy its football team and with the Hungarian government to purchase and develop the ground around [[Stadion Albert Flórián]]. In April 2008, Ferencváros Torna Club officially agreed to sell the football club, Ferencváros Labdarúgó Kft to [[Esplanade Kft]], McCabe's company in Hungary.
The development of a new all-seater football stadium with a capacity of 25,000 has been started. 'The Blades' already own a Chinese club - the [[Chengdu Blades]] and have an interest in clubs in [[Belgium]], [[The Ivory Coast]], and [[Australia]], and an exchange of ideas relationship with [[São Paulo Futebol Clube|São Paulo]]. <ref>http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/sheff_utd/7243262.stm BBC News - Blades chief wins Ferencvaros bid</ref>
