In June 2023, the club merged with NK Goričanka and started competing under the name Serdica Goričanka. [3]

History

On 21 April 1974, about 40 people founded a football club in Serdica. [1] The same day, Karel Horvat was elected as the first club president. [1]

Serdica made their Slovenian Football Cup debut in the 1994–95 season, when they were defeated at home by NK Mura with the score of 9–1 in front of over 1,000 spectators, which is also the club's highest home attendance. [1] They also qualified for the cup in the 1997–98 season, and were eliminated in the first round by Triglav Kranj. [1]

Serdica competed in the 1. MNL for most of their early years. They finished fifth consecutively in the 2002–03 and the 2003–04 seasons. The 2004–05 season was one of the best in the club's history as they were in the title race before finishing third. They finished fifth again in the 2005–06 season.

For the 2006–07 season, the club was in a relegation battle with Cankova and finished ninth, thus avoiding relegation by four points. In the 2007–08 season Serdica were in the title race for the entire season but were defeated on the last match day by Hodoš with the score of 2–0 and failed to promote to the Pomurska League.

In the 2009–10 season, Serdica was in a relegation battle and avoided the drop by four points. The 2010–11 season was one of the best for the club in the fifth tier as they were contesting for promotion but finished third behind Beltinci and Apače. In the 2011–12 season the team was in the title race again, but finished third.

In the 2012–13 season, the club finished second and was one point behind league winners Bakovci. They scored a total of 93 goals and conceded 29. Because Pomurska League was discontinued they stayed in 1. MNL, but were effectively promoted from the fifth tier to the fourth tier. In the 2013–14 season, Serdica finished top of the league in the fourth tier and won promotion to the Slovenian Third League, together with NŠ Mura and Bakovci. In the 2014–15 season, their third division debut, the club won only one match in the entire season and finished as league bottomers, quickly relegating back to the fourth tier.

Serdica finished fifth in the 1. MNL (fourth tier) consecutively in the 2015–16 and 2016–17 seasons.
