History

[edit]

The Slovak football club was founded in 1912 under the name PAFC Pöstyén (Pöstényi atleticai és futbal club Pöstyén). In 1937, the ice hockey team ŠHK 37 Piešťany split off from it. After 102 years of continuous activity, the men's football team ceased to exist in 2015. The management then decided to continue to operate only the youth teams. Since August 2016, new management has taken over Piešťany football, which decided to restart the men's team by registering in the lowest eighth league.[1][2]

In the 2016-2017 season, the senior team won the eighth league and advanced to the seventh, and in the 2017-2018 season, they also won the seventh league and advanced to the sixth league.[3] In the 2018-2019 season, PFK Piešťany won the sixth league and advanced to the V. league west. In the 2019-2020 season, the team finished in 3rd place in the V. league west.[4]
