History
The club was formed on 22 June 1934, following the example of some Liptovský municipalities and the municipality of Okoličné. The meeting consisted of many football enthusiasts from the community and Ján Devečka who officially declared the establishment of the football club.
The first elected chairman was JUDr. Sterllinger, who donated from his own private property the Pšaninách meadow (where today stands a dairy) on which to create a football field, which was the club's home until 1972.
The club's first football match was a friendly game against neighbouring ŠK Smrečany, taking place on 15 July 1934, the result ended 8–0 for the home team. The game was attended by more than 500 spectators and the match was officiated by referee Michal Vala.
