Club history

The main club sponsor Raven company ended support of the football team in Považská Bystrica, even though the club was in first place in Majstrovstvá regiónu 2012/2013 (4th level) competition after the autumn season. So the club was dissolved due to financial crisis after losing its main sponsor.
