History
FK Senica was founded in 1921. Newly created partition was rapidly progressed, but the boom dampened dark period World War II. World war almost destroyed football in Senica. Pšurný Rudolf, who was the chairman has already pre-war club, but do not allow the city faded football. The club was organized matches and tournaments. After the war he began the sport Zahorie to bloom again.

Opening of the sports complex was associated with a charity match between footballers from Senica district and the then vice-champion of the world from Chile in a convoy with Jozef Adamec.

Dušan Vrťo, the former Sporting Director of FK Senica in 2010 has offered Dundee FC to be the club's scout in Slovakia.

In 2018–19 season the club had set a record, that was regarded as a rather negative one. On 16 February 2019 (Matchday 19), in an away game against AS Trenčín, played in Myjava, Senica fielded an entire starting line-up made up entirely of foreign players. All the substitutes were non-Slovaks as well.

Then in 2021–22 season, FK Senica was declared bankrupt. According to sport.sk, Senica is in debt with a value of up to 1 million euros. This serious financial problem even made Senica reportedly unable to pay the operational arrears on the club's official website before the COVID-19 pandemic. Even FK Senica official website, fksenica.eu had been disabled because the club had not paid operational bills since February 2020.

FK Senica's financial crisis has also caused players and club employees to reportedly not receive a salary since September 2021. As a result of the salary stagnated for seven months, it rolled out a wave of massive resignations from several players. This caused Senica to be thrown into the 3. Liga because its license was revoked.
