Match11 Sep 2027
No end in sight to FK Senica's wait for a win
6 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at FK Senica has to find a result from somewhere.
Squad13 Sep 2027
Artur Bogusz in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at FK Senica this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Squad13 Sep 2027
“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Lukas Brabec commits to FK Senica for another 5 years.
Match11 Sep 2027
FK Senica cannot find the net
3 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.
Squad13 Sep 2027
Words at FK Senica training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Marek Pekarik is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.
Squad13 Sep 2027
The manager makes an example of Kristian Sestak
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
Match11 Sep 2027
Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. MFK Skalica came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.
Player ratings13 Sep 2027
Successful dribbles: 11. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
Market13 Sep 2027
Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. Filip Kucka leaves FK Senica the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.
Back issues

Artur Bogusz was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.
Squad15 Mar 2027
Lukas Brabec falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.
Squad15 Mar 2027
When it matters, Juraj Benes plays
It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Viktor Weiss hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what FK Senica can pretend not to have heard.

Viktor Benes has left for Spartak Myjava in a $22.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

A season-long look at somebody else’s player: Alex Húdok arrives from AS Trencin with something to prove and a return ticket in the drawer. Good loans make everybody richer; this one starts Saturday.

Match4 Jan 2027
Every point is an argument now for FK Senica
Position 11 and 8 points, and the table gets read bottom-up in this part of town. The calendar has stopped being a schedule and started being a countdown.
Market4 Jan 2027
The bid was some way short and FK Senica did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.
Squad4 Jan 2027
An individual honour is a strange thing in a team game, and the best of them are never argued with. He has had the sort of year that ends with his name being read out, and FK Senica have had the benefit of it.
Market4 Jan 2027
“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Loan watch4 Jan 2027
“I watch every FK Senica game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at MFK Skalica runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.
Squad4 Jan 2027
Lukas Brabec named in the team of the month
A month is long enough that nobody gets in by accident. Lukas Brabec is in the division's best eleven for it, which is a quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.
Market4 Jan 2027
No place for Viktor Weiss in the plan
“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Viktor Weiss has his answer from FK Senica; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

18 matches without a win for FK Senica
The run now stands at 18, and the questions being asked around FK Senica are no longer polite ones.
Squad30 Nov 2026
Juraj Benes breaks a bone — 44 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 44 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

A brace, and Vaclav Jankto takes the afternoon — 8.64
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Vaclav Jankto provided it, and the 8.64 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.
Squad30 Nov 2026
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.
Squad30 Nov 2026
“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” FK Senica have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

FK Senica leaking at the back
4 matches, two or more conceded in every one of them. Sides that create as much as this can live with it for a while. Nobody lives with it forever.
