History

In Veszprém there was a long tradition of handball, and in 1970 the Bakony Chemist TC women's team won the first championship among the rural ensembles. The sports club was founded in 1977 under the wing of the Veszprém County State Construction Company (VÁÉV) under the name Of Veszprém Builders, after a political decision was taken in the city, which urged the men's division of BVTC, which had been relegated from NB II, to be taken over by the VÁÉV.

In 1981, under the executive direction of Csaba Hajnal, the new team was promoted to the first division, where it finished each season with a medal; In the first season, he won a silver medal. Over the next three years, they won one silver and two bronze medals in the championship, two silver medals and one gold medal. In 1985 and 1986, the team won the championship.

Over the next four years, the team won only four silver medals (three times at the Rába ETO, 1990–1992 Bramac, Fotex until 2005, MKB until 2015, MVM until 2016, Telekom-backed team since 2016: since 1992, 23 seasons, 20 championship gold and 3 silver medals have been awarded to Veszprém. (Meanwhile, between May 2008 and October 2011, they did not lose a single league game.)

After the success in 1984, 3 Győr victories came, and from 1988 onwards, 19 cup victories in 24 years were added to the list of glory, the brightest result being four KEK finals (2 wins and 2 silver medals) and four EHF Champions League 2nd place.

Since July 2008, Veszprém Aréna has been the home ground for Telekom Veszprém, previously playing their matches in the 15th street hall.

In April 2020, fans voted for the All Star team in club history, which includes Árpád Sterbik, Gergő Iváncsik, Carlos Pérez, József Éles, László Nagy, Mirza Džomba and Andreas Nilsson.

In 2024 they had four captains: Ludovic Fabregas (EHF Champions League) Patrik Ligetvári (K&H liga) Gasper Marguc (Hungarian Cup) Nedim Remili (Club World Cup)
