1. MFK Kežmarok (also simply known as MFK Kežmarok) is a Slovak association football club based in Kežmarok in the Prešov Region. The club currently plays in the 3. Liga, the third highest league in Slovakia.[1] MFK Kežmarok covers around 11 youth categories and a senior team.[2]
MFK Kežmarok was founded in 1907.[2] Kežmarok played one season in the second division during the Czechoslovakian times. In the post-war year of 1945/1946, ŠK Kežmarok fought into the second league competition. However, due to reorganization, it dropped out. And it never returned to it. The club played in the 3. Liga in the 1968/1969 season. At that time, due to the reorganization of competitions, Kežmarok would be once again relegated.[3]
Recent years: Promotion
[edit]
In 2023, Kežmarok was promoted to the 4. Liga, securing promotion in the last match of the season, a 10–0 win against Šarišské Dravce.[4] In April 2025, the club was awarded the Grassroots 2025 award for the best amateur club in Slovakia.[5] In the 2024/25 season, the club advanced to the 3. Liga for the first time since the split of Czechoslovakia.[6][7] Kežmarok got their first victory in a 3–0 win over the reserve team of FC Košice. Since the Košice B team fielded 5 players from outside of Slovakia, the team would have to forfeit the match.[8]
MFK Kežmarok currently plays their home games in the Kežmarok atletický štadión. The grandstand has a seating capacity of 350. Located above the grandstand is a room designated for the stadium’s sound system, as well as a commentator’s booth. Additionally, the grandstand includes changing rooms, a referee’s cabin, and areas reserved for VIPs. The playing field measures 100 by 60 meters.[9]
Kežmarok’s biggest rival is the neighboring club FK Poprad.[10][11] Matches between the teams are called the Podtatranské derby and is considered one of the biggest matches in the lower leagues.[12] In the last Podtatranské derby, Kežmarok would win 4–1, with the winning goal coming from captain Milan Novák, who converted a free kick without having trained for it.[13]
