Season in review: 1962 - 1963

An even better season and second place to secure promotion to the NB1/B

The club changed its name before the start of the season to VT Vasas. Manager of the first team continued to be Ede Mor. Arrivals to the first team squad were Borocz, Adamosi, Torok and midfielder Horvath. Derfalvi, Nemeth both ended their playing careers and took on new roles within the football club. Forward Jeno Szentes left the club.

Good run in the Toto cup

Having won the cup the year before, they once again managed to battle all the way to the final of the summer Toto cup. There were three other sides that also competed in the competition. The cup was now played on a home and away basis:

-  Dunaújváros – VT Vasas 6-3 (Horváth I., Janecz)
- VT Vasas – Dunaújváros 4-0 (Török 2, Horváth I., Németh)
- Budapest Előre – VT Vasas 0-2 (Szentes, Bobory)
- VT Vasas – Budapest Előre 3-0 (Janecz, Bobory, Ádámosi)
- VT Vasas – Egyetértés VM 5-1 (Janecz 3, Kerecsényi, Kárász)
- Egyetértés VM – VT Vasas 0-1 (Janecz)

Fantastic autumn and top of the table again

The new season started with a 1-0 win over Budai Spartacus. There was a good 4-0 win over Oroszlany Banyasz in the next game. The team had notched 6 wins from the first 8 games of the campaign, which came together with a draw and defeat. That meant first place in the league table with Csepel just one point behind in second place.

BVSC were also beaten 4-0 as the good form continued for the Fehervar side. Maximum points were again collected after the 1-0 win over Mosonmagyarorvar. There could have been more goals with Fister missing a first half penalty. The autumn big game came in the final week of the first half of the season. A trip to Csepel for the team with several other games falling foul to the bad winter weather. The pitch was in a bad condition at kick off. Despite playing well and creating chances in the first half, it was the home team that scored the only goal to win 1-0.

That resulted in the team closing the autumn season in second place with 9 wins, 4 draws and 3 defeats.

The form continues over spring and promotion to the NB1/B

The second half of the season kicked off with a 1-1 draw against Csepel. Budai Spartacus emerged 2-0 winners in the second game but things improved as the team rediscovered its autumn form. An exciting first half saw the team win 2-0 against Erzsebeti VTK. One of the best results of spring came in the 4-0 win over ZTE. Janecz scored two with Bobori and Karasz scoring the others. 

There were two games of the season to play when the team took on Csepel Auto at Berenyi street stadium. Although the team played poorly in the first half, goals from Torok and Bognar gave the Fehervar side a 2-0 win. Week 29 meant a trip to Dunaujvaros. The game ended 0-0 with the players looking tense during the match. There was also a 1-1 draw with Kobanyai Lombik as the season headed towards the end. 

Second place was secured thanks to a better goal difference and that meant that the club would compete in the NBI/B for the following season. 39 points were picked up with the 13 wins, 13 draws and 4 defeats.
