Encyclopedia
Volán FC is a now defunct Hungarian football team from the Rákospalota neighborhood of Budapest

The successor to Volán is Rákospalotai EAC

It does not carry any of Volán's records, but sees itself as modern extension of the REAC formed early in the 20th century and which was dissolved in the course of World War II
