Early years

In 1902, MFK Zvolen was founded by a group of students under the name Zólyomi SE.[2] From 1938 to 1944, it played in the Slovak First League. During the existence of Czechoslovakia, the club's greatest success was promotion to the Czechoslovak Second League, where it played in 1955–1956 and 1980–1981.[2][3]

Recent years

In summer 2014, MFK Lokomotíva Zvolen was merged with TJ Baník Ružiná.

In the 2022/2023 season, the club finished in 1st place in the 4th League - Central and was promoted to the 3rd League - West.[4] Zvolen won the league the following season and was promoted to the 2nd League.[5][6]
