Abstract:
Describes the stages of the exclusion of Jews from Hungarian soccer. In 1938, Jewish sportsmen were officially discriminated against; they were not allowed to play on the national team or accompany the team on tours abroad. In 1939, a ministerial decree prohibited Jews as professional instructors in soccer and other sports. Following the second anti-Jewish law, the government suspended the autonomy of the national soccer association and appointed a government official at its head. Under his rule, Jews were expelled from the management of the association and from the league of referees. A 1942 decree outlawed Jewish membership in sports clubs. The soccer club MTK was dissolved because it had Jewish players. Jews were not allowed to participate in competitive sports; they could only be spectators until the German occupation in 1944, when even that was prohibited.
