타트란 프레소프

The official establishment of the club begins in 1952 under the name Slavia CSSA. In 1954, Tatran successfully qualified for the championship of Czechoslovakia, where they won their first historic bronze medal. In 1967, the national team of Czechoslovakia became world champion in Sweden. Four Tatran Presov players were in the national team at that time: Anton Frolo, Martin Gregor, Vladimir Seruga and Rudolf Horváth. In the 1968/1969 season, Tatran won its first Czechoslovak league title. The second golden record was brought immediately by the 1970/71 season. In the 1971/72 season, Tatran achieved its greatest international success, where it only reached the semi-finals of the European Champions Cup, where VfL Gummersbach defeated it in the fight to advance to the finals. After the independence of Slovakia, from the 1993/94 season, various lobby groups took turns in the management of the club. The most difficult period of men's handball in Eperjes has come, there were frequent personnel changes in the club management, financial conditions brought the club to the brink of collapse. Miloslav Chmeliar took over the club from the summer of 2001. From then on, the team became stronger financially and personally, and could finally operate under decent conditions. In recent years, Tatran has developed into the most successful and strongest club in Slovakia. In the last decade, the club has grown into a serial champion of its country.
