FK Poprad

FK Poprad was founded in 1906 as Poprádi Sport Egylet (Poprad Sports Club). After World War I, the club was renamed Matejov Athletic Club (MAC). In the following years, the club underwent several drastic name changes, such as: Spartak, LVS, Vagónka or 1. FC. In the 1964/65 season, it won the Regional Championship and was promoted to the 2 Division, all under the name LVS Poprad (Lokomotíva-Vagónka-Stavbár). The club stayed in the division for four years, then was promoted to the 1. SNFL (specifically in the 1979/80 season). The Poprad team was relegated from it in the 1984/85 season. The club then experienced its later years only at the regional level. In 2001, the club was in a difficult financial situation, which was only averted by a merger with TJ Tatramat Matejovce. The team entered the 2001/02 season under the new name 1. PFC Tatramat Poprad. Two years later, Tatramat ended its sponsorship of Poprad football. These steps put Poprad football in a very difficult situation. It was only resolved in 2004 after the merge with FC Tatran Poprad-Veľká. In the 2013/14 season, they were promoted to the 2nd Slovak League. The club currently plays in the 3rd division of Slovakia.
