The club was formed in 1933 as Bata SK by
Tomáš Baťa, Nemes came in July 1938 coming from BSK, to replace Bilek which had left Bata. They were placed in the Serbian League, which, after the creation of a separate league of the
Banovina of Croatia in 1940, became the only Croatian club to compete in the
1940-41 Serbian League. After that season, however, it joined other Croatian clubs in the
1942 Croatian First League. After the end of the
Second World War and with the re-establishment of the Yugoslav league system, the club changed its name to SFD Slaven, to be renamed again in 1954 into NK Borovo and to play as such all the way until the
Croatian War of Independence and subsequent disintegration of Yugoslavia beginning in 1991. Its more successful period was between the mid-1950s until the mid-1970s when the club on several occasions fought for promotion into the
Yugoslav First League. It played mostly in the
Yugoslav Second League and on three occasions reaches the quarter-finals of the
Yugoslav Cup. The club was re-established in 2005 as HNK Borovo and begins competing in the local lower leagues. ==Coaches==
