The Ferencvárosi Torna Club and MKB Bank have signed a strategic cooperation agreement, according to which the financial institution will become the official bank and financial strategic partner of the FTC. The cooperation will cover the financing of all the departments of FTC and MKB Bank will also provide unique banking offers for the staff, athletes, and fans of the sport club. In addition, MKB Bank is launching a scholarship programme, which will provide financial support to young athletes competing in Ferencváros colours.

“The most prestigious sport association and the most prestigious bank in Hungary are signing a strategic partnership today, and we are pleased to announce that this cooperation is not only about financial support, but also about the future and talented young Hungarian athletes. We hope that this partnership will be beneficial for both parties, but it is also important for me what me and my colleagues can learn from Fradi: that is, how to attract and develop talent and how to become a champion at home and be successful on the international stage”,

said Dr. Zsolt Barna, Chairman and CEO of MKB Bank and Hungarian Bankholding at the press conference.

“The intention of Ferencvárosi Torna Club is, in addition to educating young people and talents, to reach the highest possible level in all areas of sport, both nationally and internationally. To achieve success, it is essential to have a stable financial background, which is provided by our partners. Our goals remain unchanged: starting every series with the intention of winning it for both teams and athletes competing for Ferencvárosi Torna Club. It is a special pleasure for us to have a sponsor who, in addition to encouraging and supporting the club’s young champions, also thinks of the staff and fans of Fradi,”
