Statistics of Nemzeti Bajnokság I for the 1987–88 season.

Contents

Overview

It was contested by 16 teams, and Budapest Honvéd FC won the championship under headcoach Bertalan Bicskei. The 19th district team went undefeated at home throughout the entire campaign, only conceding 2 goals at the Bozsik Stadion. In March Tatabánya defeated Honvéd 1-0 at the Bányász (miner) Stadion, blowing the title-race wide open. Tatabánya would win 5 our of their next 7 encounters, but a 4-week winless streak at the end of the season destroyed their momentum. Honvéd confirmed their championship status on the 1st of June, obliterating Kaposvár Rákóczi 5-1. Kálmán Kovács scored four goals during the game.

Match-fixing Scandal

In October of 1989, news emerged of suspicious game results regarding the 1988/89 season. This was the second match-fixing related scandal in the hungarian top-flight, the first one having happened in 1984. The legitimacy of the results of some teams having to fight relegation, such as that of Debreceni VSC, Fehérvár and Zalaegerszeg have been called into question.

47 people were called in to questioning about DVSC's results. Although no serious prison sentences were given out to any of the players placed under suspicion, the scandal still casts a large shadow over the perception of football and the fairness of it in the country in the 1980's.
