The club was founded on 16th June 1885 by school teacher János Goll in Újpest, a separate city in those times, just next to the borders of Budapest, the capital city of Hungary, under the name Újpesti Torna Egylet (Újpesti TE).
It was formed first as a general athletic club, performing gymnastics and fencing, and their motto was “Soundness, Strength, Harmony” (Hungarian: Épség, Erő, Egyetértés). In 1899 a football club was formed in the city of Újpest under the name Újpesti FC and with the same colors: purple and white. They would like to base our social responsibility program on our motto also.
