History

Kisvárda FC, later known as Várda SE, was founded in 1911 as Kisvárdai Sport Egyesület (KSE). The officials of the village supported the new club by donating a pitch next to the market place.[1] The financial support came from the merchants of the village, who helped a lot in the early stages of the club.[2] In 1953, their present-day ground, the Várkerti sporttelep was built.

The club was reestablished on 26 October 1971.[3]

Since the 2013–14 season, the official name of the club is Kisvárda-Master Good FC.[4]
