[edit] History
Established in 1906, the club's colours have been traditionally white, yellow and red, which are also featured on the town's flag. However, the sponsor Mondi Business Paper SCP introduced new colours in 2005: orange, black and white.
In 1993 the club gained promotion to the Slovak Second Division for the first time and a second promotion to the Corgoň Liga in 1997. The clubs trophy cabinet stayed empty until their centenary year, when in 2006 they lifted both the Corgoň Liga title and the Slovakian Cup with the help of 21 goals from the league's joint top scorer Erik Jendrišek. Other stars of the team in this succesfull season were Jan Nezmar and Marek Sapara. The team was coached at that time by František Komňacký who in February 2007 went on to FC SKA Rostov-on-Don.[1]
The league win gained them entry into the Champions league second qualifying stage, there they met Swedish side Djurgården, Ružomberok lost the first leg 1-0 but managed to pull back the deficit to win 3-2 on aggregate. The next round saw them meet Russian champions CSKA Moscow, the team lost conceding 5 goals without reply.
Currently, Petr Uličný is the team manager and Viliam Hýravý is his assistant. The biggest stars of the current team are Ľuboš Hajdúch and Igor Žofčák.
