It began its journey in 1995 with meetings and friendly matches organized by former club players. In 2005, the club's veterans legally established themselves as an independent entity and moved to the neighboring town of Matadepera, where the Matadepera Veterans Handball Club was founded, comprised solely of one handball team, the masters team.
Handbol Veterans Matadepera quickly established itself as one of the pioneering clubs in the Catalan Masters League of the Catalan Handball Federation (FCH). Throughout its history, the club was crowned champion of the Catalan Masters League twice: in the 2013-14 and 2015-16 seasons, and also finished runner-up in the 2014-15 and 2016-17 seasons. He also won the Catalan Masters Cup in the 2007-08 season.
At the international level, Handbol Veterans Matadepera participated in more than 10 editions of the European Masters Handball Championship organized by the EHF (European Masters Handball Championship).
The club also participated in several national and international friendly tournaments, one of the most important being the Ciudad de Sevilla International Tournament, where it always competed in the +35 category.
Throughout its recent history, Handbol Veterans Matadepera was primarily comprised of former Handbol Terrassa players, which fostered a relationship of friendship and collaboration between the two entities.
This relationship led, in 2021, to a unanimous agreement for all Handbol Veterans Matadepera members to join Club Handbol Terrassa.
Thus, starting in the 2021-2022 season, the veteran team began its journey as Handbol Terrassa Veterans and began competing in the Catalan Masters League of the Catalan Handball Federation and other competitions, marking the beginning of a new era for veteran handball in the city.

The team was founded under the name Budapest Old Boys in 2003, when the European Handball Federation organized the 1st Masters Handball European Championship in Vienna.
Based on the successful experiences, the EHF decided to organize the Masters European Championships every two years, and then from 2005, is organized yearly.
With several well-known former national team players in the team, we participated in all the European Championships with great success. At the European Championships, in several age groups, we won a total of 15 pcs gold, 8 pcs silver and 4 pcs bronze medals.
