Debreceni VSC is a Hungarian football club from the city of Debrecen. The club's stadium accommodates 9,200 seated spectators and 1,000 standing.

The clubs' nickname is Loki (Lokomotiv), from its long-standing ties to the railways. The club was founded on 12 March 1902, initially being known as "Egyetértés Futball Club" but on becoming independent it was renamed "Debreceni Vasutas Sport Club" (Debrecen Railway Sports Club). In 1926 professionalism came to the Hungarian football scene, with the unfortunate result that "Bocskay FC" was formed using players from DVSC and city rivals DKASE and DTE, with the result that Bocskay ruled the football roost in Debrecen for 15 years while DVSC continued to struggle in the lower divisions. In 1940 the professional/amateur division of players was abolished and Bocskay suffered financial collapse, returning DVSC to top-dog position in the city. DVSC reached the Hungarian First Division for the first time in 1942-43, but then suffered something of a yo-yo existence for the next fifty years, suffering eight relegations in all, and even starting the 1967 season in the Third Division.

In the Communist era the club underwent a number of name changes. It became "Debreceni Vasutas Sport Egyesület" in 1948-49, "Debreceni Lokomotív" (hence the nickname) in 1949, "Debreceni Törekvés" in the 1955-56 season, and it was known as "Debreceni Vasutas SC" from 1957 to 1979. In 1979 the two city teams, DVSC and DMTE were united into one team, called DMVSC, but after ten years the clubs split again and the team adopted its current name.

DVSC's most successful period has been since its most recent promotion to the First Division in 1993, since when the club has won its only national honours - the Hungarian Cup was won in 1999 and 2001, and the Hungarian League title for the first time in 2005.

DVSC managed to duplicate the feat and win the league in 2006 as well, after in the last round on June 3, they defeated Pápa 4-1, and the then-leader of the league Újpest FC (who had the same amount of points as DVSC but had more away wins) lost to Fehérvár in a climatic battle ending in 3-1, which also caused Fehérvár to place 3rd.

In 2007 Loki became again the Hungarian champion on the 28th match-day.
