History

NK Tezno Maribor was founded in 2006.[1][3] The club is legally not considered to be the successor of NK Kovinar Maribor and the statistics and honours of the two clubs are kept separate by the Football Association of Slovenia and the Association of 1. SNL.[1] As the old club was dissolved in the middle of the season, NK Tezno was still allowed to fully finish the 2006–07 season.[3]

They started playing in the Slovenian Sixth League. They gained promotion in the 2009–10 season, and were promoted again in the next year, to the Slovenian Fourth League. In the 2012–13 season, they were relegated back to the Slovenian Fifth League.
