FK Kosice is a historic Slovak football club from the city of Kosice, currently competing in the Slovak Nike liga, the top division. The club plays at the futuristic Steel Arena, a multi-purpose stadium. Originally founded in 1952, the club has a rich history, with its most famous incarnation being FC Kosice, which won the Slovak Double in 1998. The club's traditional colors are yellow and blue. Their peak era was undoubtedly the late 1990s, when they not only dominated domestically but also famously defeated the mighty FC Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League, a legendary result in Slovak football history. After financial difficulties led to the original club's dissolution, the current FK Kosice was reborn and has fought its way back up the pyramid. In the modern era, the reborn club is re-establishing itself in the top flight, aiming to restore some of the city's former footballing prestige. The fan base in Slovakia's second-largest city is large and passionate, yearning for a return to past glories. FK Kosice carries a weighty legacy and the hopes of a city eager to see its team shine again on the national stage.
