History

FK Poprad was founded in 1906 as Poprádi Sport Egylet (Poprad Sports Club).[1] After World War I, the club was renamed Matejov Athletic Club (MAC).[1][2] In the following years, the club underwent several drastic name changes, such as: Spartak, LVS, Vagónka or 1. FC.[3]

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.[3]

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.[4] These steps put Poprad football in a very difficult situation. It was only resolved in 2004 after the merge with FC Tatran Poprad-Veľká.[5] In the 2013/14 season, they were promoted to the 2nd Slovak League. The club currently plays in the 3rd division of Slovakia.
