The teams:

Ferencvárosi TC

They won the 1964–65 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, after defeating Juventus 1–0 in Turin, and have won the NBI 30 times and the Magyar Kupa 23 times. They lost to Leeds United in the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup Final in 1968 and to to Dynamo Kiev in the final of the European Cup Winners’ Cup in the 1974–75 season.

Puskás Akadémia
Puskás Ferenc Labdarugó Akadémia, commonly known as Puskás Akadémia FC or simply Puskás Akadémia, were founded in 2005 in Felcsút, Hungary. The aim of the founders was to establish an academy for Videoton (Now MOL Fehérvár) and to establish a fitting memorial to former Hungarian national footballer Ferenc Puskás, despite the team not actually having any academy players or Ferenc Puskás having any links to either Videoton or Felcsút! For this reason alone they are hated and mocked in Hungary with the vast majority of fans refusing to use the made up name and simply referring to them instead as Felcsút. The Prime Minister supports Mol Fehérvár/Videoton or whatever they are actually called this week & is from Felcsút. The football ground is virtually in his garden.

Budafoki MTE
Budafoki Munkás Testedző Egyesület (Budafok workers bodybuilding association) more simply referred to as Budafok. Budafoki Labdarúgó Club debuted in the 1945–46 season of the Hungarian League and finished ninth. Like most Hungarian clubs they have undergone a number of name changes over the years (a lot were enforced under communist rule). They remained in the county level leagues until 2016-17 when they had their first season in the NBIII, they won the league and achieved back to back promotions, entering the NBII for season 17/18. They finished 14th and then 16th in season 18/19. When the league was suspended in May 2020 due to covid-19 they were in 2nd place in the NBII and have therefore been promoted as runners up.  They play in a field! Not quite sure how their ground has been passed for the NBI, it is literally a field with an athletics track around the outside and 1200 seats! Impressive array of solar panels. It has undergone several upgrades including a roof being added to the stand over the past 5 years, there are floodlights but don't think there is undersoil heating, although that could be being added ahead of the season starting. It looks fantastic and is on my to visit for a game list for this coming season!
