Club history
Czechoslovakia
It was founded in 1951 as ZSJ VSS Košice, but a short time later it was renamed TJ Spartak Košice VSS. After the reorganization of the Czechoslovak league system in 1953, Spartak was divided into the eastern group of the 2nd league, from which the team in 1955 succeeded in promotion to the 1st Czechoslovak league. There the team finished last and got relegated, but managed to get promoted again immediately and played from then on as Jednota Košice. This time the Eastern Slovaks were able to hold out in the top division for two years.
The recovery succeeded in 1963 as VSS Košice, the team settled in the first division in the next few years. In the 1970/71 season VSS was runner-up and played in the UEFA Cup the following season . In the first round, the team was eliminated with 0: 2 and 2: 1 against Spartak Moscow . In the following game year 1972/73 VSS Košice won the Slovak Cup, but lost in the final for the Czechoslovak Cup to Baník Ostrava 2-1 and 1: 3.
