History edit

The Győr ETO was founded in 1904. The club's handball department was founded in 1948. He first appeared among the best in the Nemzeti Bajnokság I in 1959 and, except for one year in 2003, he was always a member of the first class. They won a bronze medal in 1960 and a silver medal in 1961 in Nemzeti Bajnokság I. In 1962, ETO finished in fifth place. The following year (1963) brought another podium place, the team finished third. In 1964, ETO finished last, in 14th place, and was relegated from the first division. In 1965, the band immediately returned to the top, winning the second division with a 6-point lead. In 1970, the team won a silver medal in the Hungarian Cup, losing 16:13 to Spartacus in the final. Coach Attila Joósz led the team to the top in 1973: in addition to the second place in the championship, ETO won the Hungarian Cup.[1] The team composed of József Horváth, Gyula Böröczki, Károly Visi, Imre Balogh, Lajos Cséka, László Samodai, József Pálmai, Lajos Horváth, György Szórádi, László Pelikán, András Kristofori, György Gyömörei made history. The returning coach Attila Joósz once again led the team to the top in 1985: in addition to the bronze medal won in the championship, ETO won the Hungarian Cup[2] again. The members of the team were: Imre Balogh, Béla Cseh, Ottó Csicsay, István Deáki, Attila Domonkos, Zsolt Horváth, Mihály Iváncsik, Zoltán Kádár, Tibor Oross, László Polgár, László Tóth, Zoltán Vesztergom and József Vura. ETO started in the 1985/86 season for the first time in an international cup: the IHF Cup and won it right away. In the final, the opponent was the Spanish Tecnisa Alicante, the 6-goal advantage gained at home was preserved in the second leg (23:17, 20:24),[3] so the ETO (Imre Balogh, Béla Cseh, Ottó Csicsay, István Deáki, Attila Domonkos, Zsolt Horváth, Mihály Iváncsik, Zoltán Kádár, Tamás Menyhért, Tibor Oross, László Polgár, László Tóth and Zoltán Vesztergom) became the second team in the history of Hungarian men's handball to win the European Cup. They won the Hungarian Cup[4] this year as well. In 1987, the dream came true, ETO became the champion. The team confidently finished in first place with a 6-point advantage.[5] Zoltán Kádár scored 167 goals, Mihály Iváncsik 126. Members of the gold medal winning team: Imre Balogh, Péter Cseri, Ottó Csicsay, István Deáki, Attila Domonkos, Kálmán Fenyő, Zsolt Horváth, Mihály Iváncsik, Zoltán Kádár, Tamás Menyhért, Tibor Oross, László Polgár, Attila Szekér, László Tóth, Zoltán Zoltán Vesztergom. In 1987, they won the Hungarian Cup[6] for the third time in a row under the leadership of coach Tibor Szaló. After 1987, they won the Nemzeti Bajnokság I for the third time in a row in the 1988/89[7] and 1989/90 seasons. The team won a bronze medal in the 1991/92 season, and a silver medal in the Hungarian Cup in 1995, but from then on the team slipped further down the table. The year 2003 was not successful, the team dropped out of the league and only played in the county championship. The team was re-formed with the support of Széchenyi István University. In 2006, the team was again promoted to Nemzeti Bajnokság II. In the 2010/11 season, they successfully overcame the obstacles and won the Nemzeti Bajnokság II championship. The following year, the team finished in 2nd place in the NB I/B championship. The 2012-2013 championship year followed, when they won the NB I/B. This gave them the right to participate in Nemzeti Bajnokság I. The summer of 2013 brought the biggest change in the life of the team, as they acquired the right to use the name ETO, so they started the 2013-2014 season under the name ETO-SZESE Győr[8] in September, which did not bring much success, so the following season was changed to the 2014-15 they started the season again in the NB I/B. After several silver medals, at the end of the 2023/24 season, the team won gold again in the NB I/B and was promoted to the Nemzeti Bajnokság I.
