AS Trenčín (in Slovak pronounced as /ˈaː ˈes ˈtrentʂiːn/) is a Slovak sports club in the town of Trenčín, most known for its football department. The first team currently plays in the Slovak First Football League after winning the 2010–11 Slovak First League. The club plays its home games at the Štadión na Sihoti with a capacity of 10,000 spectators.

History

The football team was established in 1990 as TJ Ozeta Dukla Trenčín and started in the third division of the Czechoslovak competition, finishing one place below TTS Trenčín. Afterwards both clubs merged. Later, the club spent three seasons (1994–97) in the second division in Slovakia.[2] Since 1997, Trenčín has continuously played in the Slovak first division.

In 2002 the club changed its name to FK Laugaricio Trenčín, and one year later became FK AS Trenčín (Araver a Synot Trenčín).

The club's biggest success so far was winning the national title in the 2014–15 season and reaching second place in the 2013–14 season. Trenčín has also made four appearances in the Intertoto Cup (1998, 1999, 2000 and 2002). It is owned by former Dutch international Tschen La Ling.[3] After 11 seasons in the top level the club was relegated after the 2007–08 season.[2]

In July 2015, FK AS Trenčín together with women's handball team HK Štart Trenčín was merged into Asociácia športov Trenčín.[4]
