History
ŽNK Pomurje was founded in 1999.[3] The club have won seven Slovenian championships and nine cups. In the 2014–15 UEFA Women's Champions League season Pomurje advanced to the round of 32 for the first time by finishing as the best runner-up in the qualifying tournament.[4]
Pomurje have won their first national cup in 2005 and the national league in 2006.[5] The next season, the club have won its second cup and was the league's runner-up. In 2008 and 2009, Pomurje was second to ŽNK Krka both in the league and the cup, but declined in the next two seasons (third in 2010 and fifth in 2011).[6]
However, in 2012 Pomurje won its second league title and the cup, attaining its first "double". Pomurje became a dominating force between 2012 and 2016, winning four doubles and five straight championships. In the 2018–19 season Pomurje won a seventh championship title without dropping any points.[7]
