History

edit

The club emerged after the dissolution of NK Ljubljana, a club which played in the Slovenian First League, but went bankrupt in 2005. However, in spite of inheriting old Ljubljana's supporters and colours, FC Ljubljana was legally not considered as the successor of NK Ljubljana.[1]

The club was established in June 2005, and started to compete in the fifth league. In 2006 they have finished second after Olimpija, scoring 15 wins and 66 goals in 17 matches. Next season they finished second again, but were promoted, due to forced relegation of Svoboda. They missed another promotion by one point in 2009, but then managed to win the fourth league and qualify for 3. SNL in the next year. After a season in third tier, Ljubljana was expelled from the league due to financial difficulties and was dissolved in 2011.[1]
