History

Sport in Dunajská Streda has a long history. The records say that first organized sports club in the town was founded in 1904 under its current name DAC = Dunaszerdahelyi Atlétikai Club (Dunajská Streda Athletic Club). Athletics, boxing, and football were the most popular sports in those times.

Though the football club survived two World wars and remained in organized form since its beginnings in 1904, the first success came only in 1953, when the team won the title in Bratislava district I. A championship.

The end of 1960s brought the first real success. In 1968 DAC advanced in the western Division of third league, but only for two years. After seven years in regional championship, we got back in the Division in 1977. After place 6 in season 1977/78 and place 7 in 1978/79, the third year brings the big turning point in club’s life: DAC wins the division and for the first time in its history gains promotion to Slovak National League (SNL 1 - second level).

1984/85

On third attempt and under new coach Karol Pecze, a magnificent promotion is achieved. The last home game against Nitra attracts a crowd of 10 000. Average attendance is 3783. 22 goals of Ladislav Tóth mean second golden shoe in two years.
