History
Football enthusiasts Marek Jakab and Miroslav Pilčík, who in 1992 decided to put women's football on its feet in our city when they founded ŠK Olympia Košice through joint efforts. They signed up with their charges for the highest competition in Slovakia, first among the 10–12 sections of the Women's Football League. On their own initiative, they sought funds to maintain the activities of the club, then when the women's football headquarters decided that each participant in the highest competition must have a girls' student team in the competition. In 10 years, they achieved success in the years 1999/2000, 2000/2001 and 2001/2002, when they placed second twice and once in third place in the competition. There were also successes abroad.
