The football team was established in 1990 as TJ Ozeta Dukla Trencin and started in the third division of the Czechoslovak competition, finishing one place below TTS Trencin. Afterwards both clubs merged. Later, the club spent three seasons (1994–97) in the second division in Slovakia. Since 1997, Trencin has continuously played in the Slovak first division.

In 2002 the club changed its name to FK Laugaricio Trencin, and one year later became FK AS Trencin (Araver a Synot Trencin).

The club's biggest success so far was winning the national title in the 2014–15 season and reaching second place in the 2013–14 season. Trencin has also made four appearances in the Intertoto Cup (1998, 1999, 2000 and 2002). It is owned by former Dutch international Tschen La Ling. After 11 seasons in the top level the club was relegated after the 2007–08 season.

In July 2015, FK AS Trencin together with women's handball team HK Start Trencin was merged into Asociacia sportov Trencin.
