Društvo Nogometna Šola Ajdovščina, commonly referred to as DNŠ Ajdovščina or simply Ajdovščina, is a Slovenian football club, which plays in the town of Ajdovščina. The club was established in 2011[1] after the dissolvement of NK Primorje, a club which folded couple of months earlier, due to a high financial debt, and after failing to obtain competition licences issued by the Football Association of Slovenia.[3] Legally, the two clubs' track records and honours are kept separate by the Football Association of Slovenia.[1] They are currently playing in the Slovenian Third League under the name Ajdovščina Škou. They merged the first team with ŠD Škou before the start of the 2012–13 season.[4] The team gained a promotion to the third level after finishing as the runners-up in the 2012–13 Littoral League. Even though DNŠ Primorje never had a first team (they competed only with the youth selections), the Football Association of Slovenia officially registered DNŠ Primorje to compete in the 2013–14 Third League.[5]

Stadium

The team plays their home matches at the Ajdovščina Stadium, a 1,705 capacity stadium in Ajdovščina. The stadium was renovated during the 2009–10 season, and was reopened in September 2010.

Honours

Winners (1): 2014–15
