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).

1980/81

The newcomers from Dunajská Streda fight against relegation until last rounds and finally end the season on place 11. SNL 1 proves to be a real crowd-puller; average home attendance reaches 2647.

1981/82

DAC becomes a strong opponent, the home record of 15 11 4 0 includes victories against the first two teams of the final table. Overall attendance is 26 089 (average 1739).

1982/83

First unsuccessful attempt to win promotion: DAC, with former star player Juraj Szikora on the bench, end on place 2, four points behind champions Banská Bystrica. Average attendance is 2005.

1983/84

The same story as one year earlier: DAC ends second four points behind Petržalka. Average attendance rose to 2819; 3:0 home victory against the champion attracts 8136 fans. Ladislav Tóth scores 22 to become top goal scorer of the League.

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.

1985/86

The historical first season in Czechoslovak first League. Relegation is avoided three rounds before end, the final place is 11. Average attendance reached 7297.

The year of success. DAC is 4th in the League and wins the Slovak and then the Czechoslovak Cup. 8265 spectators per game is the top in club’s history.

1987/88

First time in Europe. Cup Winner’s Cup campaign starts in preliminary round with two victories against AEL Limassol (Cyprus) 1:0 and 5:1, but ends in 1st round against Young Boys Bern (2:1 and 1:3). In its third season in 1st League, DAC ends on place 3 – best ever position. Average attendance is 7447.

1988/89

6:0 victory against Östers Växjö of Sweden in 1st round of UEFA Cup is our record victory for years. In round 2, the visit of famous Bayern München attracts 15 572 fans. The last season of Karol Pecze on the bench brings place 6 in League and average attendance of 6205.

1989/90

1991/92

1997/98

2000/01

DAC, led by Ladislav Kuna, ends on place 5 of second league. Neither promotion, nor relegation is in question this season. 646 fans per match mean that after more than 20 years, the average is below 1000.

2003/04

Juraj Szikora and Dušan Liba led the team to very poor 9 points from 15 matches. The club was then taken over by Iranian sponsors and the “fairy-tale” became reality: 30 points under Robert Pflug and relegation is avoided. Average attendance increased to 1512 fans per game.

2004/05

New coach Štefan Horný is replaced after 15 rounds by ex-DAC player Peter Fieber. Final place is 8, average attendance 1254. Peak of the season is a 2:0 victory vs. Slovan in front of 2890 fans.

First League is renamed to Corgoň Liga; second League is thus first League. And as two participants say no to this new structure, the start of season sees DAC in the first League. Milan Albrecht is back on the bench, but is replaced by Robert Pflug after 7 games. In one year’s time, DAC is again relegated from the second division. Average attendance is 843. 2007/08

DAC wins the third level (2. liga). After 28 years, the club is not present in one of the two nationwide divisions. New coach Tibor Meszlényi led the team to 1st place after 25 rounds, but due to some bad results is replaced by club-legend Peter Fieber who, together with assistant Július Simon (another club legend), leads the team to final victory. Average attendance is 894.
