Győri ETO KC (Hungarian: Győri Egyetértés Torna Osztály Kézilabda Club, lit. Concordance Gymnastics Department of Győr Handball Club) is a Hungarian women's handball club from Győr. Since they are sponsored by Audi, the official name for the team is Győri Audi ETO KC.

On domestic level ETO won 14 Hungarian Championship title, including seven in a row between 2008 and 2014. They are also a thirteen-time Hungarian Cup winners, having won all their finals since 2005 until 2016.

ETO won the Champions League in 2013, 2014, 2017 and in 2018 and also reached the final in 2009, 2012 and in 2016.[1][2] In addition, Győr reached the final of the EHF Cup Winners' Cup in 2006 and the final of the EHF Cup in 1999, 2002, 2004 and 2005.

Győr is the highest ranked team alongside rivals CSM București on the list of the world's most valuable women's handball teams.

History

The ETO was founded in 1904, but the women's handball section wasn't created until 1948. In 1957 they won the Hungarian Championship for the first time. However, their most successful period started in 2005 when Győri ETO won the Hungarian Championship and the Hungarian Cup, and reached the final of the EHF Cup. In 2006 they participated again in a European final, for the Cup Winners' Cup. In 2007 and 2008 they reached the semifinals of the Champions League.

In 2009 Győri ETO reached the final of the Champions League, meeting Danish champion Viborg HK. Due to a knee injury suffered days before the first leg, captain Anita Görbicz couldn't take part in the finals.[3] Győr won the first match away 26–24[4] but was defeated at Veszprém Aréna 23–26, thus losing the title on aggregate score.

In 2012 the team made it to the EHF Champions League finals again, where they fell short to ŽRK Budućnost Podgorica on the away goals rule. ETO won the first leg on home soil to 29–27, while their Montenegrin opponent achieved a 27–25 victory in the rematch which was just enough for them to gain the title.[2]

The 2012-13 season was the first one, when Győr won the EHF Champions League title. They were able to win on a thrilling semifinal rematch against Oltchim Vâlcea, where the guest Romanian team were leading in the 51st minute even with 6 goals.[5] The last 10 minutes of the match were incredible from Győr's point of view, because they were able to come back to the match and lose with only 1 goal. Considering, that they have won their first match in Romania with 2 goals, that loss meant that they have made it to the final, where they had to face with the Norwegian powerhouse Larvik HK. After a victory in Norway (24-21), they won the rematch and the title at the same time in the Veszprém Aréna. [6] In that season they also became Hungarian Champions and Hungarian Cup winners. In the next season they were able to defend all their titles. In the EHF Champions League for the first time in the competition's history, the winner have been decided in a Final Four tournament. Thus Győr have won the last title in the old format and the first one in the new. After the 2013-14 season a lot of things has changed at Győr. At the beginning of the season two key players of the team (Katrine Lunde and Anita Görbicz) announced their temporary departure from the team due to pregnancy, then three other key players got seriously injured (Eduarda Amorim, Jelena Grubišić and Adrienn Orbán). The team won the Hungarian Cup, but lost the Champions League quarterfinals against HC Vardar and the Hungarian Championship against Ferencváros.

After one unsuccessful season, in 2015-16 the team had to play qualification matches for EHF Champions League, where they won against both of their opponents. They have won the Hungarian Cup as well as the Hungarian Championship. Beside these results they reached the final of the Champions League again, where the Romanian "dark horse" team of the Final Four tournament, CSM București defeated them after a thrilling match, which ended with a penalty shootout.

Győr decided to strengthen their squad, so they have signed a contract with the Norwegian handball superstar: Nora Mørk. It was the transfer of the season. [7] They failed to defend their Hungarian Cup title, after losing the penalty shootout against Ferencváros in the final, but they have won the Hungarian Championship and the EHF Champions League trophy. They have defeated HC Vardar in overtime with 1 goal (31-30).[8]

On 16th of February 2018, the club announced that the most successful coach of the club's history, Ambros Martín won't extend his contract and will leave the team after the 2017-18 season.[9] The team successfully defended their Champions League title in a battle against HC Vardar. The match - just like in the previous season - ended with overtime, where Győr could won and lift the trophy for the fourth time. Vardar had their chance to equalise before the end of the game, but Éva Kiss saved their attempt and secured the victory for her team (27-26). [10] Győr also won the Hungarian Cup, for the 13th time in overall, which means they have set up the new record. They got revenge on FTC for the last season's loss in the semifinal (30-29 after p.) and defeated Érd in the final.

The club has gone through several name changes during its existence, including Győri Vasas, Győri Vasas ETO, Győri Keksz ETO, Győri Graboplast ETO and since 2005 Győri Audi ETO.[1]
