From the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, football was established in Brezno. The first club was founded by a group of students from Banská Bystrica. It was in June 1913 that the BSE sports club â Breznobánya Sport Egylet (sports club Banské Brezno) had been founded in HorehronÃÂ. At the outset, it had 70 regular members and 36 supporting members.

The field was not constructed until 1925, and it was opened with ceremony in July of that year. This was with a friendly match against Slavia Banská Bystrica, in which FK Brezno would win 1âÂÂ0.
After World War II, FK Brezno's football activity would resume. Local students played for the team. Vojtech Zachar was the coach, who went on to become a member of the Czechoslovak national team after moving to à ½ilina. The Brezno team returned to playing in the first regional league between 1963 and 1964, represented by soldiers who had completed their basic military training. In the 1966/67 season, the club achieved 4th place, being promoted to the first league in central Slovakia, where they finished in 1st spot. The increase in Brezno football's level was confirmed by the results, as evidenced by another promotion to the regional championship. It was the second promotion in two years.
