The Hungarian Olympic Committee (MOB) is Hungary's third oldest social organization and one of the first national Olympic committees, founded on December 19, 1895. It exclusively directs and represents the Hungarian Olympic movement, remaining accountable only to the International Olympic Committee. The MOB's responsibilities include the nomination, supervision, and management of Hungarian athletes at the Olympic Games.
Ferenc Kemény, who studied in Paris and befriended Baron Pierre de Coubertin, played a key role in founding the International Olympic Committee in 1894. The National Gymnastics Association, founded in 1863, took on preparatory tasks for the MOB. Influential figures such as Albert Berzeviczy and representatives from various sports associations, including MTK and the Budapest Buda Gymnastics Association, were part of the forming committee. Albert Berzeviczy became the first president, with Ferenc Kemény as secretary. Since 1989, athletes have managed the MOB, with a general assembly as the highest decision-making body, electing officials and making key decisions. An 18-member board governs the MOB between assemblies, meeting monthly to address important issues.
