Várpalotai Bányász Sportegyesület (Várpalota Miners' Sport Association)
The first football association in Várpalota was founded in the first half of 1920 under the name Várpalotai Torna Egylet (VTE) (Várpalota Gymnastics Society). In 1927 a new association was formed: Unió Torna Egylet (Union Gymnastics Society). In 1936 a swimming pool was inaugurated mainly from the salary of the miners.
