History

1984–1995

The Slovenian Futsal League dates back to 1984, when the tournament system was used to determine the winner. Talci Maribor have won the first championship in the inaugural 1984–85 season. Talci Maribor and Vuko Ljubljana were the most successful teams of the period, winning five and four titles, respectively.

1995–present

The competition in its current format was established in the 1995–96 season, when the tournament was transformed into a league system. Juventus from Šentjur became the first champions with the same number of points (43) as runners-up Vuko Ljubljana, but with better head-to-head record. In the following season, the title was won by Litija, which played under the name Assaloni Cosmos at the time due to sponsorship reasons. It was the first of ten titles for Litija, which are, as of 2023, the most successful Slovenian futsal team in terms of titles won.
