FK Pohronie is a Slovak football team, based in the town of Žiar nad Hronom. The club currently competes in 2. Liga. The 2019/20 season was the first time in the club's history that the team played in Fortuna Liga, the highest level of the Slovak football league system. The club avoided relegation that season, and continued in the top division for the 2020/21 season. In the 2021/22 season the team was relegated.
History
Founding
On 1 June 2012, Sokol Dolná Ždaňa and FK Žiar nad Hronom reached an agreement regarding the running of the new club. The newly created club would start in the 3. Liga.
Promotion
After six years in the 2nd league, the club finished first in the 2018/19 season and advanced to the top flight for the first time in their history. FK Pohranie made its debut in the Slovak First Football League in a 3–1 loss against ŠK Slovan Bratislava. Pohronie finished their first season in second to last place, having to play a relegation play-off match, which they won 1–0 over FK Senica. After three seasons in the top flight, Pohronie would get relegated in the 2021/22 season, finishing in last place with only 18 points.
Recent years
In October 2025, a subsidy of 30,000 euros was given to FK Pohronie from the municipality of Žiar nad Hronom after the club lost sponsor following their financial troubles.
Stadium
Until the end of 2017, the A team played its home matches on the field in Dolná Ždana. In the summer of 2017, Pohronie moved to the newly renovated football venue in Žiar nad Hronom which had a capacity of 2200 seats with artificial lighting.
