Siófok Kézilabda Club is a Hungarian women's handball team from Siófok, that currently play in the Nemzeti Bajnokság I. They have competed in lower divisions until 2006, when they have won the third-tier championship and gained promotion to the Nemzeti Bajnokság I/B. That time a businessman, János Fodor took over the club, and with the support of the local government, he guaranteed the financial background to fulfil the club's long term plans.

In May 2009, SKC received a surprise request from the Hungarian Handball Federation to replace the financially struggling Tajtavill-Nyíradony and join the top level championship. Siófok met all demands and unexpectedly started the 2009–10 season in the NB I. Despite being newcomers, the team performed well and finished in the respectable seventh position.[1]

The club have agreed a sponsorship contract with Galerius Wellness and Spa Center on 5 May 2011, and under the terms of the agreement altered their name to Siófok KC-Galerius Fürdő.[2]
