Perspective

2022-23

In the 2022/23 season, FC Košice managed to advance to the highest Slovak league after winning the 2nd division.[5][6][7][8] Throughout the season, they lagged behind FC Tatran Prešov and it looked like Košice would have to fight for promotion in the play-offs, but Prešov's poor form towards the end of the season meant that Košice became the league winners. Out of 30 matches, they collected 20 wins, 6 draws and only 4 losses. They had a four-point lead over second-placed Prešov.[6]

2023-24
