History

Domestic

The club was founded on 28 November 1899 as Vaci Sportegyesulet. The main activities were cycling, fencing, gymnastics and tennis. The first (friendly) match of the football team was played on 24 May 1904 against Muegyetem FC (now Muegyetemi AFC – university team in Budapest, they were in the second league in that time), and lost 0–3.

Before 1926 in the Hungarian football system there were only Budapest teams allowed to play in the first league. There were regional championships (keruleti bajnoksag) for the non-Budapest (Hungarian: videki) teams. Vaci SE has won two regional titles in 1913 and 1924.

After 1926 the new professional league was open for the non-Budapest teams, but Vaci SE couldn't afford to have a professional team. In the August 1948 two clubs, Vaci AC (founded: 1920) and Vaci Remenyseg (founded: 1922) were merged into Vaci SE, and the club was renamed as Vaci Dolgozok TK.

In 1986–1987 under Janos Csank the team won the NB II. Division and was promoted to the I. division, where they would spend the next 13 years. They reached the Hungarian Cup final in 1991 and 1992, but lost 0–1 against Ferencvarosi TC and 0–1 after extra time against Ujpest FC. In 1991–1992 and 1992–1993 they barely finished in 2nd behind Ferencvarosi TC and later Kispest-Honved. In 1993–1994 they won the Hungarian League for the first and only time. The following year, however, was their most dismal year thus far in the first division, but they reached the cup final again, and lost again against Ferencvaros 0–2, 3–4.

In 2000 the league reorganized to relegate the bottom two teams and Vac, who had put up their most miserable season to date, was relegated to the II. di
