The club was founded in 1911. From 1945 the team used to play its matches near the local railway station. KSC was the other club in town, which was founded in 1972. The two teams became arch rivals in the second and third leauge until their merger in 1999. KTE was always supported by local workers during these years.
The first years of the third millennium brought confusion and many troubles to the football in Kecskemét. But this was over in 2006 when Pál Rózsa and János Versegi became the chairmen of KTE. They started to build a strong and successful club, with great support from Dr. Gábor Zombor, mayor of Kecskemét.
Several thousands of citizens attend matches nowadays. The local enthusiasm is much greater than the Hungarian average.
