May 27, 2023 – a date every Honvéd supporter remembers with bitterness and that every Kispest fan has probably etched into their memory for life. We played the final round of the 2022-23 NB I season in Felcsút, with top-flight survival at stake. We will not revisit the images or reopen the wounds, but it was the match after which, following 20 years, we had to say goodbye to the first division and then spent three years in NB II. The pain was not eased by the fact that later the MLSZ refereeing committee also acknowledged that a serious refereeing error had occurred, one that affected the battle to avoid relegation.
Although this rivalry dates back only to 2013 and cannot be measured on a historic scale, it nevertheless carries considerable prestige – not least because of all this. There is little point dwelling on the past now: the 26th chapter is coming, and in Round 8 of the 2026-27 OTP Bank Liga season our team travel to Felcsút.
The hosts have started the league well and will go into Friday's opening match of the round from the top of the table. We ultimately left Győr without a point after conceding a penalty in the final moments, although judging by the pattern of the game it was not the first match in this campaign after which the coaching staff and the public could speak of ‘dropped points’ – and even so, only six points separate the sides. Our women's team, meanwhile, recorded a somewhat surprising 2–0 victory in Kispest on Wednesday, and now, as the saying goes, hopefully 'there is more to come'!
