History

edit

Founded in 2005 as ŽNK Maribor, the club began competing in the Slovenian Women's League in the 2006–07 season.[1] The team ranked last and second to last in its first two seasons,[2] but then finished third in 2009.[3] In the next three seasons, from 2010 to 2012, they always finished in sixth place.[4][5][6] Nina Kovačič (2007), Monika Žunkovič (2008 and 2011) and Urška Pavlec (2009 and 2010) have been the team's top scorers in its first five seasons.[7]

In February 2019, the club merged with the men's football club NK Maribor Tabor.[8] After the 2020–21 season, the club withdrew from the league and disbanded its senior team.[9] After competing with only youth teams, they re-established the senior squad for the 2024–25 season.[10]
