History
On 3 March 1935, Ceglédi Vasutas Sportegyesület ("Cegléd Railway Sports Association") was established on the initiative of railway station chief Dr. Gyula Stankaai, and officers Kornél Ginovszky and József Gámán.{{cite web |title=CEGLÉDI VASUTAS SPORTEGYESÜLET {{!}} Ceglédi Városi Könyvtár |url=http://www.konyvtarcegled.hu/cegledivasutassportegyesulet |website=Ceglédi Városi Könyvtar |access-date=7 May 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220507085900/http://www.konyvtarcegled.hu/cegledivasutassportegyesulet |archive-date=7 May 2022 |language=hu |url-status=live}} The adopted statutes set out the objectives of the new club, intended to further bring together the railway workers through sports. In the first year, 153 regular railwaymen and 98 family members became members of the club.
Members of the club would excel in various sports, with club wrestler József Gál becoming the first Hungarian world champions in lightweight at the 1950 World Wrestling Championships, as well as competing in the 1952 Summer Olympics.{{cite web |title=Athletes & Results |url=https://uww.org/athletes-results |website=United World Wrestling |access-date=7 May 2022}}{{cite Sports-Reference |url=https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/ga/jozsef-gal-1.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200418094057/https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/ga/jozsef-gal-1.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=18 April 2020 |title=József Gál Olympic Results |accessdate=10 March 2019}} At the 1952 Summer Olympics, club pentathlon athlete István Szondy received a gold medal in the team modern pentathlon event and a bronze in the individual event.[http://www.databaseolympics.com/games/gamessport.htm?g=13&sp=MOD "1952 Summer Olympics – Helsinki, Finland – Modern Pentathlon"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070904114047/http://www.databaseolympics.com/games/gamessport.htm?g=13&sp=MOD |date=4 September 2007 }}databaseOlympics.com (Retrieved on 27 September 2008){{cite web|url=https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/sz/istvan-szondy-1.html |title=István Szondy Olympic Results |accessdate=13 July 2012 |work=sports-reference.com |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120415080344/http://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/sz/istvan-szondy-1.html |archivedate=15 April 2012 |df= }} In recent times, wrestler Tamás Lőrincz from the club won the silver medal at the 2012 Summer Olympics in the Greco-Roman 66 kg event and a gold medal in the men's 77 kg event at the 2020 Summer Olympics held in Tokyo, Japan.{{Cite web|title=Wrestling Results Book|url=https://olympics.com/tokyo-2020/olympic-games/resOG2020-/pdf/OG2020-/WRE/OG2020-_WRE_B99_WRE-------------------------------.pdf|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210807164330/https://olympics.com/tokyo-2020/olympic-games/resOG2020-/pdf/OG2020-/WRE/OG2020-_WRE_B99_WRE-------------------------------.pdf|archive-date=7 August 2021|access-date=8 August 2021|work=Tokyo 2020 Olympics|publisher=Tokyo Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games}}
