Esztergomi KC is a Hungarian professional women's handball club from Esztergom, that plays in the Nemzeti Bajnokság I.
The current name of the club is MOL Esztergomi KC due to sponsorship reasons.[1]

History
The Esztergomi Vitézek RAFC (fullname: Esztergomi Vitézek Rögbi, Atlétikai és Football Club) (English: Esztergomi Vitézek Rugby Athletic and Football Club ) is a Hungarian sports team founded in 1983. The women's handball division was established in 2015. The new team started as Esztergomi Vitézek RAFC in the county championship in the 2015/2016 season, in the Hungarian 4th division. In 2017, the team reached Nemzeti Bajnokság II, the Hungarian third division. At the end of the 2022/23 season, it was announced that coaching legend Gábor Elek, who is leaving Ferencvárosi TC after 15 years, will become the team's professional director and his wife, national team member Zita Szucsánszki, will join the team as a fitness coach and player.[2] In February 2023, the team's new home, the Suzuki Aréna, was handed over.[3] In the summer of 2023, it was announced that the Siófok KC team was excluded from Nemzeti Bajnokság I due to license problems and could only compete in Nemzeti Bajnokság II.[4] Therefore, the Esztergom Vitézek, who finished second in the Nemzeti Bajnokság II Northern Group, can appear in the second division, the Nemzeti Bajnokság I/B, in the next season based on the decision of the Hungarian Handball Federation (MKSZ).[5] At the end of the 2023/24 season, they finished in 2nd place behind the Szombathelyi KKA team in Nemzeti Bajnokság I/B and were promoted to the top division, Nemzeti Bajnokság I.[6] In the top league, after the main sponsor, the team is already named MOL Esztergom.[7] In the Nemzeti Bajnokság I, Gábor Elek already manages the team as head coach, which certified players such as former national team Anett Kisfaludy and Anett Kovács.[8] In its first Nemzeti Bajnokság I season, the team surprisingly finished in 3rd place.[9] The team can thus start in the 2025/26 EHF European League, which is why it has again signed several international players: Hungarian international Szandra Szöllősi-Zácsik, Apollónia Szmolek, Emília Varga, Anna Bukovszky and French international Emma Jacques.[10]
