Transfers Synthesis
Ujpest’s listed movement is concentrated around the summer registration cycle, with arrivals and departures logged across late June and July. The incoming sample combines permanent transfers, free-agent additions, a loan for Heitor and several returns from loan, suggesting a changing squad structure without establishing the full scale of recruitment. Outgoing entries similarly combine free-agent exits, loans and players returning to parent clubs, with some individuals appearing in more than one movement category across different dates. The recorded paths connect Ujpest with clubs in Hungary and abroad, including Budapest Honved, Puskas Academy, Eintracht Frankfurt, Slavia Praha, Maccabi Tel Aviv, Mérida AD and FCSB. Because both lists are limited listings rather than exhaustive totals, they support a description of movement patterns, not a complete accounting of arrivals, departures or financial balance.
Leagues Ujpest has participated in
Ujpest’s recorded competition profile includes NB I, Magyar Kupa and Friendlies Clubs, each with participation extending through 2025 and a recent active presence. NB I is the domestic league setting, while Magyar Kupa is the national cup and Friendlies Clubs covers non-competitive fixtures. European participation is recorded in the UEFA Europa League in 2018 and the UEFA Europa Conference League in 2021; both entries are historical rather than current. The competition history therefore combines a recent domestic footprint with earlier continental appearances.
More about Ujpest
Ujpest Football Club is a Hungarian club founded in 1885 and rooted in Budapest’s northern fourth district. Its origins are associated with Újpesti Torna Egylet, giving the football side a place within one of the country’s longstanding sporting traditions. The club is widely known as Ujpest and by the nickname Lilák, meaning The Purples. Violet and white are central to its visual identity, appearing in the traditional home colours and linking the team to its local community. The club’s home is Szusza Ferenc Stadion on Megyeri út. Opened in 1922, the ground was designed by Alfréd Hajós and later named for Ferenc Szusza, the celebrated forward and record goalscorer whose legacy remains closely connected with Ujpest. The stadium’s setting in northern Budapest, near the Danube, reinforces the club’s civic character and its long relationship with the district. Ujpest occupies an important place in Hungarian football history. It has maintained a prominent domestic presence across the modern top-flight era and is regarded as one of the country’s most decorated clubs. Its historical European record includes deep runs in the European Cup and UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup, as well as a notable Central European tradition associated with the Mitropa Cup. Those achievements form the historical foundation of a club that continues to be identified with ambition, strong local attachment and a distinctive colour scheme. Institutionally, Ujpest belongs to the wider Újpesti TE sporting family, while its modern football organisation has existed through changing corporate and private ownership periods. Its competitive ecosystem centres on Hungary’s NB I and Magyar Kupa, with European club competitions forming part of the broader historical pathway. Ujpest’s identity remains defined by the meeting of northern Budapest heritage, Hungarian football continuity and the enduring violet-and-white image of the Lilák.
