TJ Družstevník Vlčkovce (2704944) (full name: Telovýchovná Jednota Družstevník Vlčkovce) is a Slovak football club competing in the Hattrick universe. Founded in late 2025, the club represents the small municipality of Vlčkovce. It quickly established itself as a stable competitor in the fifth tier of Slovak football (V.2).
History
Football in Vlčkovce and Pre-Foundation of the club
Long before entering the professional ranks of Hattrick, football in Vlčkovce was deeply rooted in local amateur sports culture. For decades, the local sports movement operated under the traditional "Družstevník" banner, relying on passionate local players and community support. However, the club lacked the modern infrastructure and tactical leadership required to compete on a national scale. By the autumn of 2025, a local football visionary known as VlckovceMan recognized the untapped potential of the region. He initiated a complete modernization project, restructuring the club from an amateur village team into a professional organization ready to enter the official Slovak league system.
Foundation and early success (Season 74 to 76)
On November 4, 2025, during Season 74 of the Hattrick universe, TJ Družstevník Vlčkovce was officially registered and founded by VlckovceMan. The club was immediately placed into the competitive V.2 division. The club’s first professional match was a home game against league winners fc krokodil511, where in front of 12,000 spectators, Vlčkovce lost 3–1. The only goal for Druzstevník was scored by Karol Duchoň in the 66th minute following a pass from Claudio Perna. The club’s first win came a week later, when Anton Anton secured a 1–0 win over FK Tatran Prešov. The team finished its debut league campaign in 5th place.Globally, the club made its first appearances in international friendly tournaments, finishing 2,369th in the Heroes of 2025 Trophy (Season 3) and 19,691st in the Supporter Week Trophy (Season 35).
Season 75 marked a significant leap forward. Under strict management, the team adjusted to the physical demands of tier V football. The season also marked the club's first extensive cup campaigns. Družstevník Vlčkovce shocked pundits by climbing the table to secure a 3rd-place finish in division V.2. The most shocking match of the season was a 3–1 win against eventual league winners Real bratislava C.F., with a brace being scored by Anton and a goal by Alexander-Maxim Haluška. Although they suffered early exits—knocked out of the Slovenský pohár (Round 1), Smaragdový pohár (Round 1), and Kapurkový pohár (Round 2)—the matches provided vital financial resources and competitive experience. Internationally, they placed 8,860th in the Heroes of 2025 Trophy (Season 4).In Season 76, the club proved that the previous year was no fluke. Mirroring their exact league form, they secured another 3rd-place finish in V.2, cementing their reputation as a dangerous top-half team. Cup fortunes remained steady but challenging, with consecutive Round 1 and Round 2 exits in the Slovenský pohár and Smaragdový pohár, respectively. On the international stage, the club showed massive improvement, rising to 5,150th in the Heroes of 2025 Trophy (Season 5).
Futbalové ihrisko Vlčkovce
Futbalové ihrisko Vlčkovce is the home stadium of the club, based in the Trnavský region. The arena underwent its last major improvement and expansion on 6 July 2026.
History
The ground started as a humble village pitch in the late 20th century, heavily supported by the local agricultural cooperative (hence the name Družstevník). For decades, it featured nothing more than a bumpy grass surface, wooden benches, and a small concrete clubhouse where fans gathered for local derbies. The modern transformation of the stadium began when the club secured promotions in the Hattrick league pyramid. To meet growing fan demands and avoid massive ticket lockouts, management initiated a series of aggressive expansion projects. The most significant turning point occurred on 6 July 2026, when a massive construction project tripled the standing sections. By prioritizing massive terraces over commercial VIP lounges, the club successfully preserved its traditional, loud, and intimidating grassroots atmosphere that visiting teams dread.
Capacity and Seat Distribution
The stadium currently has a total capacity of 32,000 seats. The infrastructure heavily prioritizes budget-friendly standing areas, while completely omitting luxury VIP seating. The exact breakdown of the sectors is as follows:
- Terraces: 24,000 seats (75% of total capacity)
- Basic Seating: 6,000 seats (18.75% of total capacity)
- Seats Under Roof: 2,000 seats (6.25% of total capacity)
- Seats in VIP Boxes: 0 seats (0% of total capacity)
Economy and Maintenance
Operating a stadium of this scale involves a balance between high potential matchday earnings and fixed weekly overheads:
- Weekly stadium maintenance: €18,200
- Potential match takings: €266,000 (achieved at 100% attendance under optimal weather conditions)
Youth Stadium
The club actively supports grassroots development through its youth academy. The prospects of Druzstevník Vlckovce U19 play their official home matches at the adjacent Vlčkovce youth stadium, which features a fixed capacity of 600 seats.
Notable club players
Claudio 'The Chosen One' Perna
Claudio Perna, affectionately dubbed 'The Chosen One' by the Vlčkovce faithful, arrived at the club as the landmark foundation signing of the VlckovceMan era. Bringing an elite technical profile to the center of the pitch, Perna quickly established himself as the creative engine of the tactical system during the club's formative seasons.He is widely celebrated for his brilliant passing ability and excellent playmaking vision, making him a lethal weapon whenever the team deploys creative or counter-attacking strategies. Perna permanently etched his name into club lore by becoming one of the team's most prolific setup men, consistently dominating the assist charts while maintaining a dangerous scoring threat from deep.
Anton 'Anton' Anton
Anton 'Anton' Anton is a long-serving squad member of TJ Družstevník Vlčkovce, having spent his entire professional career with the club since its foundation under manager VlckovceMan. Due to his continuous tenure, he holds a maximum Divine loyalty status, which provides a baseline performance multiplier across his entire skill profile.Tactically, Anton is utilized primarily as a wide midfielder due to his identical ratings in both winger and passing skills. This distribution makes him a central component when the team deploys wide-focused strategies such as Play on Wings. Match data also shows tactical adaptability, with multiple appearances recorded as an auxiliary forward to leverage his passing attributes in the attacking line.
Originally registered under the name Radoslav Anton, the player underwent a formal name change to Anton Anton on November 5, 2025, followed by the registration of his official nickname, "Anton," the following day. On November 7, 2025, he underwent a total appearance makeover. Anton secured a permanent place in club history by scoring the decisive goal in a 1–0 victory against Tatran Prešov, marking the first official win ever recorded by TJ Družstevník Vlčkovce. The breakthrough came in the 85th minute following a well-worked indirect free kick that caused chaos in the penalty area, allowing Anton to slot the ball home. Anton was officially recognized by the club's staff as the most improved player in the squad for two consecutive seasons. His first "Practice makes perfect" milestone was awarded on March 30, 2026 (Season 75), followed by his second recognition on July 20, 2026 (Season 76). Anton was selected as a starting winger in the opening round of the Slovenský pohár against Atletico LC. He played a career-high 122 minutes in a highly competitive, high-scoring match that ultimately ended in a narrow 5–6 defeat for his side.
