The first football club in BaÃÂka Topola formed in 1912, but TSC officially exists since 1913, and was founded by István Benis, who was the first president. Back then, the club was named Topolyai Sport Club. The town was part of Kingdom of Hungary, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the first club sponsor was Károly Beer, who also brought the first football to the town. Soon the First World War started and after the war the region of BaÃÂka would become part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, renamed into Yugoslavia in 1929. In 1930, the club changed its name into Jugoslovenski Atletski Klub. In the early 1930s, the stadium where the club still plays nowadays was built. In the Second World War the club competed in the Hungarian Second League, finishing in second place in 1942.
After the war the region returned to Yugoslavia, and the club was renamed Egység, and counted with Hungarian international Jenà  Kalmár among its strongest reinforcements.

In 2005, the club merged with FK Bajà ¡a and started competing again under a new name, FK BaÃÂka Topola. The club was the champion of the Vojvodina League North in the 2006âÂÂ07 season.
