History
The club was founded in 1955. In the 2017–18 season, the club made history getting crowned champion of the First League of FBiH and getting promoted to the Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina for the first time in its history.[1] On 18 June 2018, it changed the club name from FK Sloga Simin Han to FK Tuzla City.[2] In the 2018–19 season, its first ever Premier League season, Tuzla City finished on 10th place, narrowly escaping relegation.[3] In the 2019–20 season, the club finished on a great 5th place, even almost qualifying for the 2020–21 UEFA Europa League First qualifying round, but the season was ended abruptly due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the club, by default, finished in 5th.[4]
