History

After the 2012–13 season, the old ND Mura 05 experienced financial difficulties and was dissolved.[2] The newly established club used its youth club to register a team for the 2013–14 season under the name NŠ Mura.[3] Their first season of play was in 1. MNL Murska Sobota where they finished second and earned promotion to the Slovenian Third League. In 2016–17 and 2017–18, Mura earned consecutive promotions to reach the top flight of Slovenian football for the first time. In 2018–19, the club finished fourth in the PrvaLiga and qualified for the UEFA Europa League, their first European competition. The club won its first major honour in 2020, defeating second division side Nafta 1903 in the final of the Slovenian Football Cup on 24 June.[4]
