Club Spotlight: Ferencvárosi TC
Club Spotlight: Ferencvárosi TCDescription
Our Club Spotlight series returns to bring you a very non-controversial topic!
That's right, we're covering Hungary's own Ferencvaros, the most decorated club from the proud footballing nation — and often its most contentious.
Real-life history major David Blomquist takes us back to the club's founding through its dense history to find out how it became the domestic powerhouse we know today, and also to flesh out its complicated identity and relationship with far-right nationalism.
So a super light episode, basically! Let's all hope Viktor Orbán does not come after David.
We also discuss the current iteration of the squad under manager Robbie Keane and why they've had such a good start to their Europa League campaign.
So join us on a tour of the layered history of a famous club, whose political entanglement reflects a broader sporting reality across the globe — and yes, is also a good football team!
Cheers Robbie Keane!
