History

Early years: 1893–1919

The first mention of football in Banská Bystrica dates back to 1893, but no more precise reports have been preserved from this period. The year 1900 became a historical milestone, when leading representatives of Banská Bystrica officially began to deal with the issue of sports in the city. The proposal to establish a sports club was accepted on 1 April 1900. It was called BSC (Beszterszbányiá Sport Club) and was represented by the cycling, tennis and football departments.

The Banská Bystrica football team officially started its first friendly match on 26 August 1900. Its opponents were guests from Budapest. The match ended 10–1 for the guests and the home team's honorary goal was scored by one of the best players on the field, Kreisner. A year later in Budapest, the Banská Bystrica team left the pitch with a loss, but only by a goal, the match ended 2–1. The football team at that time was coached by Jozef Beran from Budapest. The players themselves paid for the coach, because the club did not have enough money. Football matches and training sessions were held sporadically rather than regularly. In August 1904, the BSC football team met the Budapest team Törekvés SE, over which it won 2–1. In other matches, the Bystrica team was able to defeat leading Hungarian teams such as Šalgótarján 4–0 and Diósgyör 12–1.
