The 1950s were one of the most unsuccessful periods in the history of Ferencváros, which was weakened by political orders. In 1950, the team's name was changed to ÉDOSZ SE, then in 1951 to Budapesti Kinizsi SE, and the club's colours were changed to red and white by the political authorities under Mátyás Rákosi. Five years later, in autumn 1956, the club was able to use its original name and club colours again. In 1958, Ferencváros won the Hungarian Cup, their tenth cup victory.

The 1960s saw the beginning of a much more successful streak for Ferencváros compared to the previous decade. Under the lead of József Mészáros, a team was formed that would become one of the dominant players not only in Hungarian football but also in world football in the years to come. Fradi confidently won the championship gold again in 1963 after 14 years. In the 1964 season, Ferencváros became champions for the nineteenth time. Meanwhile, the team began its march in the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, with Brno, Wiener SC, AS Roma, Athletic Bilbao and Manchester United falling victim to FTC. Finally, in the 1965 final, Juventus also bowed to Fradi, who became the first Hungarian team to win the prestigious European cup. 1967 was another golden year in the club's history. Fradi went unbeaten in 28 league games during the championship and, despite losing the last two, still claimed their 20th league title. The team's top scorer, Flórián Albert, beat Manchester United's famous striker Bobby Charlton in 1967 to win the Ballon d’Or vote, becoming the first and only Hungarian footballer to win the Ballon d'Or. A year later, Ferencváros once again shone on the international stage: the green and white team beat Liverpool twice to reach the final of the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, but Leeds United proved better this time. In the championship, however, Ferencváros were the most successful team, winning the title for the twenty-first time in 1968.

In the early 1970s, Fradi attracted attention mainly because of its success in the international cup. As the successor to the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, the newest European cup series, known as the UEFA Cup, was launched in Geneva in 1971. Ferencváros progressed to the semi-finals of the new series. The team failed to finish on the podium in the championship but won the Hungarian Cup (known as the Hungarian People's Republic Cup at the time) for the eleventh time. One of the most memorable events of 1973, which ended with a silver medal, was the debut of Tibor Nyilasi, a key player of the new generation, in the Ferencváros senior team. A year later, on 17 March 1974, the Ballon d’Or winner Flórián Albert said goodbye to the Hungarian league with a goal against ZTE. In the same year, the team repeated their Hungarian Cup victory, and the rebuilt Üllői Road stadium was inaugurated on the occasion of the club's 75th birthday.

In the first two display cases of this era, it is evident how much the communist regime despised Ferencváros. In 1950, they only took away the club's name, merging it with ÉDOSZ (the Federation of Food Industry Workers' Unions), and by 1951, the club was known as Budapesti Kinizsi; moreover, they had even changed our colours to red and white.

After years of humiliation, the 1960s marked the golden age of the club. The pinnacle of this was the 1965 victory in the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup This is commemorated by the display case where we honour this triumph with relics from our opponent.

In the centre of the display case is the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup trophy, the full-sized replica of which can be viewed in the shrine.

A special note:

Opposite these display cases are eight lockers, rescued from the Albert Stadium, which was demolished in 2013. In these lockers, we showcase the evolutionary development of our footballers' jerseys, football boots, and era-appropriate accessories from the foundation until the 1990s. To be accurate, except for the last two lockers where the jerseys are original, the jerseys are replicas (made based on photographs). The penultimate jersey was worn by József Bánki in the late 1980s, while the last jersey belonged to Ottó Vincze, who delighted fans with two goals in the first Champions League group match against Grasshoppers in Zurich.

After the lockers, you will see our interactive game called the Wall of Records, which children love. Here, they can test their Fradi knowledge. Our timeline continues along the wall to the right through the narrow passage, where two tube display cases are visible. One contains balls from the 70s and 80s, alongside the signed balls from our 2020 Champions League era.
