A bit like some of our London teams, Ujpest take their name from the district of the city the club is from (Budapest). But the government designated the club a link to the police and Ministry of Interior - similar to Dinamo/Dynamo teams in other Iron Curtain countries.

Post Second World War, the communist government in Hungary linked football teams to state agencies.
The Dozsa name came from Gyorgy Dozsa, a 15th century peasant revolt leader adopted as a hero by the communist regime. It was dropped when communist rule ended in 1991 and they became just Ujpest FC.
