Kecskeméti TE (officially Kecskeméti Testedző Egyesület, Kecskemét Gymnastics Club) is a club that is most famous for its football team. It is located in the city of Kecskemét, Bacs-Kiskun, Hungary and is competing in the NB I, the top league of Hungarian football. Kecskeméti TE's highest achievement to-date is winning the Magyar Kupa in the 2010–11 season, and gaining entry into the Europa League.
Pages of Kecskemét wrote on 6 May 1871, "company wants to play soccer in our city into an older fellow-citizens, which the company exercised twice a week he throws up and running." This experiment, however, proved unsuccessful. In 1904, they played the first football match in Kecskemét, against Budapest III. District High School defeated the team of local Piarist High School. In May 1910, the first football game between the clubs was held in Kecskemét.
The club was founded on 11 June 1911, and attracted primarily local workers as players in the early years. The first managing director was Ferenc Kéry. The first colours of the club were red and green. The current colours have been used since 1913. The first match was played on 15 August 1911, in which Kecskeméti TE lost to KSC by 1–0. The second match was won 5–1 against Szolnoki MÁV.
On 29 July 1913, Kecskeméti TE merged with the other team from Kecskemét, KSC. During World War I, the team was formed with mainly under 18 players. On 11 April 1926, the first stadium was inaugurated, and the first match was played against the local rival Ceglédi RC. During this period, Hungarian national football team player Lajos Kovács played here. From 1945 the team played its matches near the local railway station.
