The sport of handball was established in Százhalombatta in 1966 when the Dunai Kőolaj Sportkör (DKSK) was established, and the handball department was then established. The adult team is the county II. started performing in class. In 1972, the team won the championship and moved up to the county I. division. In 1980, the team won the county championship and advanced to Nemzeti Bajnokság II. After two years, in 1982, the team was able to celebrate another championship title, with which it was promoted to the Nemzeti Bajnokság I/B class. At first, the team could not maintain its second-class position and fell back to Nemzeti Bajnokság II, but in 1985, by winning the championship, it became a Nemzeti Bajnokság I/B class team again for a long time. The dissolution of the DKSK in 1992 marked a major change in the association's life, when the association was integrated into the SZVSE. In 1997, the team managed by János Koller won the Nemzeti Bajnokság I/B championship with a 100% performance, earning the right to play in the highest division. Even this year, the team won a bronze medal in the Hungarian Cup. After one year, the team dropped out of Nemzeti Bajnokság I and fell back to Nemzeti Bajnokság I/B. In 2000, after another championship title, the door to the Nemzeti Bajnokság I opened again. The team was among the best without interruption until 2005, where its best result was 6th place. The team included players such as Csaba Tombor, Gábor Herbert, Gábor Elek, Vladimir Golovin. In 2004, the Százhalombattai Kézilabda Egyesület (SZKE), which still operates today, was founded. The team suffered from the difficulties of the change, so it spent the 2005-2006 championship in the Nemzeti Bajnokság I/B, from where it immediately returned to the top division with a transfer ticket. Among other things, the champion team included the many-time international players Balázs Kertész and Zsolt Perger, and the team coach was the many-time international player László Sótonyi. This year, the team again made it to the top four teams of the Hungarian Cup. In the following years, the team first finished 9th and then 7th. During this time, new celebrities joined the team, including Árpád Mohácsi and János Bécsi. 2009 was a black year for the club. Moaning the financial difficulties of the previous years, the team coached by Gábor Adorján still successfully completed the regular season, but unfortunately had to say goodbye to Nemzeti Bajnokság I in the playoffs. The management of the association decided in favor of a complete reorganization and nominated the team to the Nemzeti Bajnokság II. He put József Keresztes at the head of the team. The team won the championship with one loss and was promoted to the Nemzeti Bajnokság I/B division, where Balázs Kertész already held the post of president of the association. The team became a stable Nemzeti Bajnokság I/B team. In the first year, he finished in 5th place in the championship. The silver medal won in the 2012/2013 season was an outstanding success. At the end of the 2018/2019 season, the team was relegated to Nemzeti Bajnokság II. The team returned to Nemzeti Bajnokság I/B only after winning the 2020/2021 championship.
