History

Early years

TJ Sokol Zubrohlava was founded in 1947. In 1951 the club was already playing in the higher Orava competitions.[2] In 1954, the SOKOL physical education unit was operating in the village, leading it to become the main sponsor of the club.[2]

2019–present: Recent years and success

Between 2019 and 2021, the club would not lose a single league game.[3] In the 2019/2020 season, Sokol Zubrohlava won the 5. Liga, but due to the Covid-19 pandemic, their promotion would be cancelled.[4] In 2022, the club won the fifth league, winning 24 matches and losing only 2.[5][6] In that season, some Sokol matches would have attendances higher that those in the Slovak first division.[5] In 2023, the club was drawn with MFK Ružomberok in the cup, where they lost by a score of 3–0.[7] In the 2025-26 fourth league season, Sokol would be the only team from the Orava region to play in the competition.[8] In September 2025, the club was drawn with first division club MŠK Žilina in the 2025–26 Slovak Cup. Sokol went on to lose the game 8–0.[9]
