In 2002 a couple of futball maniacs and „old” teachers got the idea to challenge the next generation of fast-paced youngsters for some noble contest. The youngsters accepted the challenge, and at the first cup tournament, 9 teams contended for the title „Football Kings of Szolnok”.

Ever since, year by year the cup series has been organized. In 2006, for the fifth occasion, the number of participating teams reached 18. Each secondary school in town is represented, even the Szolnok College has its own team, and there will be teams formed by youngsters from the town, studying at various universities all over Hungary. 

There is a special rule: there must be at least one girl on the floor. After goals there is always a great applaud and ovation mixed with thrilling music, and the atmosphere is like in world championships.

At the previous 6 tournaments, secondary school teams won the cup four times, a university team won it once, while the „old” challengers triumphed only once! The „old” guys are already in heavy training, so anyone who wants to beat them, needs to start trainings and preparations in time.

Go, titans, go! Don’t you give in, „football maniacs”!
