History

The club was founded on 1 June 1914 (original name in hungarian Somorjai Testgyakorlok Kore). Their first stadium (in Pomle, Samorin) was opened in 1930. Their first game in the stadium, against FSV Vienna was a sweet 2–0 victory in front of 1,500 spectators. STK proudly announced that there will be places for more kids to play (Mladsi, Starsi ziaci and Dorast). This has brought a big success, because according to the 2010 statistics, almost 400 kids play football there. Analysing all of this, the Samorin players and members should all be proud of their president, Norbert Csutora. In 2010 December Csutora made an agreement to exchange steel for the seats of the old HC Slovan Bratislava ground (Because a new stadium was getting built, for the 2011 IIHF World Championship that was held in Slovakia). He got over 500 seats and gave the fans with high quality seating places, which replaced the old benches there.

In 2015, STK Samorin signed a partnership with one of the biggest Brazilian teams, Fluminense FC. In the same season, the club was promoted to Slovakia's second division and, in 2016–2017 season, is currently seeking promotion to Fortuna Liga, the Slovak top flight.
