History

The club was formed in 1933 as Bata SK and it was the promotional team for the Bata Borovo factory. Initially the company didn´t had its own club, but it was represented by the earlier existing VASK (Vukovarski Amaterski Sportski Klub). With the creation and official opening of a new football field in 1933, VASK was disestablished, and in its place was created in October 1933 a new club, SK Bata.

Between 1933 and 1939 the club competed in the regional league of Osijek. In 1939 in competed in the Serbian League, that in 1940, after the creation of a separate league of the Banovina of Croatia, became the only Croatian club to compete in the 1940-41 Serbian League.[1] After that season, however, it joined other Croatian clubs in the 1942 Croatian First League.

After the end of the Second World War and with the re-establishment of the Yugoslav league system, the club changed its name to SFD Slaven, to be renamed again in 1954 into NK Borovo and to play as such all the way until the Croatian War of Independence and subsequent disintegration of Yugoslavia beginning in 1991. Its more successful period was between the mid 1950s until mid 1970s when the club in several occasions fights for promotion into the Yugoslav First League. It played mostly in the Yugoslav Second League and on three occasions reaches the quarter-finals of the Yugoslav Cup.

The club was re-established in 2005[2] as HNK Borovo and begins competing in the local lower leagues. After a series of promotions, HNK Borovo reaches in 2010 the Croatian Third League.
