Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as basketball team in Sopron, Hungary. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 15, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3547259. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1921, 1986, 2022 and 1993.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it.

Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
