Legislation

The Hungarian law #CXLV, "On Sport", adopted on 19 December 2000, has some provision regarding the use of the national symbols and the ban of totalitarian symbols.

I guess those banned symbols are those referred to in Banned flags of nazi inspiration in Hungary: "the swastika, SS symbol, arrow cross, hammer-and-sickle, five-armed red star".

Ferencvárosi Torna Club (FTC, Fradi). "Ferencváros was founded on the 3rd of May in 1899, its first Chairman was Ferenc Springer. FTC's official logo, five green and four white stripes symbolize the 9th district, and the three 'E's refers to the motto of the club: Moral, Force, Understanding. Ferencváros, by the fans called Fradi, is the only club in Hungary, who has played all the matches in the first division. FTC is the most successful team in Hungary, has won 27 championships and 18 times the Hungarian Cup. In the season 1931/32 Ferencváros won all of its games, which is a fantastic record in Hungary. Ferencváros also has celebrated big European successes: 1965 the team has won the VVK (the series before UEFA Cup) and reached 1975 the final of the Cup Winners Cup. Ferencváros is the only Hungarian club who could reach the group phase in the Champions League."
