The first stadium for the club was constructed in the fall of 1910. On the 12th of February, 1911 Ferencvaros began their match with Budapest opposition MTK Budapest which was won by the club. The team that started the match was Fritz, Rumbold, Magnlitz, Weinber, Brody, Payer, Szeitler, Weisz, Korody, Schlosser, Borbas. The first stadium was able to accommodate 4000 spectators.

In 1971 , the stands were destroyed while a brand new one started to be constructed. The stadium opened in 1974, the year of the 75th anniversary that the football club had been established. On May 19, 1974, the club's first game took place against Vasas. The stadium was able to accommodate 29505 fans (including the seats of 10,771 and standing spectators, 18,734). The stadium in the 1990s was revamped to meet UEFA standards, so the capacity was decreased to 18,100. When Ferencvaros was selected to play in the 1995-1996 UEFA Champions League group stage A new stand for journalists was built on top of the main stand.

On the 21st of December 2007 the stadium's name modified to Ulloi uti Stadion to Stadion Albert Florian. Florian Albert, who was the famous Ferencvaros legend, was in attendance at the opening ceremony. There were many ideas for how to expand its capacity in the event that there was a chance that the Hungarian Football Federation won the bid to host an UEFA Euro 2008 or UEFA Euro 2008 or the Euro 2012. However the Federation was not successful in any bids and the reconstruction for the Stadium was put on hold.

In the year that Kevin McCabe became the owner of the club , the rebuilding was back on track. Afterward, McCabe sold his team to the Hungarian state, and the rebuild didn't happen.

Ferencvaros Stadion is a multi-purpose stadium is the third stadium for the team. It can accommodate 20.000 spectators at UEFA matches and 23,700 spectators in Hungarian League matches.

In the year Gabor Kubatov was elected as president of the club, he along with Pal Orosz were able get enough money to construct an entirely new stadium. It was rotated 90 degrees to comply with UEFA specifications. Thus, the main stand, which was previously adjacent to Ulloi ut was shifted to be adjacent to Hungaria Korut. In the course of the national stadium's reconstruction programme , the new stadium was constructed between 2013 and 2014.

The stadium was created in the hands of Agnes Streit and Szabolcs Kormos and was constructed in 2013 by Market Epito Zrt from 2013 until 2014. The stadium is home to be the Ferencvaros Museum and a fan store too. The stadium is innovative with its matching the entrance system. On August 10, 2014 Ferencvaros took on the match that was to be the opener against Chelsea.

After the demolishment of Puskas Ferenc Stadion, Hungary will play home matches in the new stadium since it is the brand new Puskas Ferenc Stadion is expected to be completed by the end of the year. Hungary celebrated their victory over Norway following a 2-1 victory in the UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying play-off.

On February 14, 2008, Sheffield United public limited company chairman Kevin McCabe successfully acquired a tender to buy Ferencvaros. McCabe's Hungarian company, Esplanade Limited liability company purchased Ferencvaros property for PS8.45 million with the aim to pay back its PS5 million loan. On April 8, 2008 Ferencvaros Torna Club officially accepted the offer to sell its soccer club, Ferencvaros Labdarugo ZRt. in the name of Esplanade Kft., McCabe's company in Hungary.

In the year 2011, McCabe relinquished his ownership of the club following the club's "strained relation" with minority shareholders.

On February 25, the year 2011, Gabor Kubatov, Hungarian MP, was elected President of Ferencvaros.

On the 28th of October, 2014 Gabor Kubatov was re-elected to serve a fourth term as president of the club.

The Ferencvaros supporters are mostly from the capital in Hungary, Budapest. But, the club is popular throughout Hungary.

Since the launch of the recently constructed Groupama Arena in 2014, the fans are being scanned at the entry point. This has led to the largest group of supporters associated with the club known as B-kozep and decided to boycott the club in 2014. The chairman of the club, Kubatov, said his desire was peace in the new stadium, and that the club already had issued a number of fines and penalties for the unacceptable behavior of B-kozep. Kubatov believed that the number of crowds would have altered due to the changes in rules. However the number of spectators did not increase during the 2014-15 or the 2015-16 seasons.

On the 13th of March, 2016, 10,125 fans were present to watch the match between Ferencvaros the second team and Csepel SC in the 2015-16 Nemzeti Bajnoksag III season. The game was a protest by the B-kozep, who wanted to highlight the number of spectators who were absent in the Groupama Arena.

On March 24, 2016, the B-kozep's representatives B-kozep began negotiations with the Gabor Kubatov, club's head. After the talks, they were allowed to return to the stadium.

The fans are friends with the fans from Rapid Wien and Panathinaikos, and because all three clubs are part of Green the team is known as"the "Green Brothers". They also have friendly relationships with fans in Hungary with the fans who are from Zalaegerszeg as well as the Polish region of Poland together with Slask Wroclaw and Baltyk Gdynia.

Ferencvaros has a rivalry with a number of team that are from Budapest which includes MTK Budapest, Ujpest, Budapest Honved and a number of provincial clubs, including Debrecen as well as Diosgyor. Since Ferencvaros is one of the top clubs throughout Hungarian Football history with the 31 Hungarian League titles and 21 Hungarian Cup titles, as well as two Hungarian League Cup title. It is also one of the best Hungarian club in European football tournaments when they won this year's Inter-Cities Fairs Cup 1964-65 season every club that is part of the Hungarian League is determined to defeat them.

The most intense rivalry is between Ujpest dating to the 1930s, when Ujpest took the first Hungarian League title. In the years since, the match of the two clubs has attracted the largest number of fans during the league in Hungary. The games of the teams usually result in violence, which can cause huge problems for Hungarian football. Personal registration was rejected by both clubs.

The match of Ferencvaros with MTK Budapest FC is called the Orokrangado or Eternal derby. It is the longest-running football rivalry in Hungary and has been played since the 1903 season, when Ferencvaros first took the title of the Hungarian League. Over the next three decades, it was either Ferencvaros as well as MTK Budapest won the domestic league.

Honved are also regarded as an intense rivalry as the clubs are situated in close proximity and, in the past, frequently played for honours.

On the 26th of November 2002 The UEFA Control and Disciplinary Committee punished Ferencvaros with a fine of EUR18,300 for Hooliganism and fireworks-related offenses committed by fans of Ferencvaros prior to and following during the 2002-03 UEFA Cup second tie against VfB Stuttgart on 12 November 2002.

At the time, Ferencvaros was charged by UEFA with disorderly crowds and racial abuse following their match against Millwall during the 2004-2005 UEFA Cup tie in Budapest, Hungary. Four fans from Millwall were stabbed. The racist slurs were directed at Millwall's athletes of African origin, which included Paul Ifill.

On the 17th of July, 2013, fans from Ferencvaros clashed with police during an unofficial match with Leeds United, which ended with a 1-0 win over the Championship club, which was played in Murska Sobota, Slovenia.

On the 19th of July, 2014 UEFA announced sanctions for Ferencvaros, Diosgyor in Slovakia, as well as Spartak Trnava, following racist fan behavior during their 2014.15 UEFA Europa League qualifying matches against Maltese clubs Sliema Wanderers Birkirkara as well as Hibernians respectively. Ferencvaros was among the teams hardest to be hit by UEFA measures , as the club was punished by EUR20,000 and the temporary closing of their stadium due to racism-related chants and banners that were displayed during both matches of the match in Malta in addition to Hungary.

On the 27th of January, the year 2015 Gabor Kubatov, president of the club, stated that he would seek fines paid by supporters. Kubatov hopes to end the violence and hatred within the arena.

On the 9th of February, the 9th of February, 2015 UEFA denied the request of Ferencvaros regarding the incident that occurred prior to and following during the 2014-15 UEFA Europa League qualifying match between NK Rijeka and Ferencvaros.
