[edit] History
Football first came to Paks in August, 1912 with a team comprised entirely of students. Soon thereafter the Paksi Atlétikai Sport Club was formed which played locally. In 1952 the Paksi Sportegyesület was formed and began competing at a county level in Tolna county. They would continue to compete in county level competitions from 1954-1964. In 1966 the team opened their new all grass playing field to a crowd of 500.
In 1970 the team won the county championship and ascended to NB III, in the central division. On July 25 of the same year they hosted Ferencvárosi TC and although the team lost 7-2, it played before a crowd of 5000. It would spend three more years in NB III before being relegated back to the county championship level.
1976 was the club's most impressive year in county play as it won the champhionship with an impressive goal difference of 119-21 and again returned to NB III, but this was not the end of its success. It would win the Szabadföld Kupa 4-2 at the Népstadion in Budapest, easily the team's greatest victory up to this point.
From 1981-82 the team participated in the NB III Dráva group, but it was short-lived and team returned to county level play. In the 1983-84 season, however, they won the championship in convincing fashion and returned to NB III. Throughout the 80s the team would come close several times to breaking into NB II, often battling against the other team from Paks, ASE, but always fell a few pieces short.
In July 1993 the two teams, Paksi SE and ASE united, giving the young players of PSE opportunties to learn and grow by learning from the more experienced ASE side. In 2001 the team won the NB III Duna group as an unexpected black horse, and then in 2005-06 they would win the NB II Western division with 25 wins, 1 draw, 4 losses, with a point difference of 66-22, earning them their first berth in NB I.
[edit] Current Season
Paks' first season in NB I started with a 2-0 win against Dunakanyar-Vác FC, but followed it up three draws and a loss before their next win. Looking back at the season as it draws to a close, Paks was able to get strong wins at home against MTK Hungária FC and Zalaegerszegi TE, both who spent most of their time atop the table. They won their final home game of the season 4-2 against Vasas SC, guaranteeing that they would not finish low enough to be relegated back to NB II, and therefore they will spend the 2007-2008 season in NB I again.

The team has yet to participate in any international level competitions.
