Nogometni klub Branik Maribor (English: Branik Maribor Football Club), known as NK Branik or simply Branik, was an association football club based in the city of Maribor. Founded on 29 January 1949 they traced their origin back to 1919 and the establishment of I. SSK Maribor (Slovene: 1. Slovenski Športni Klub Maribor, English: 1. Slovene Sports Club Maribor), an association football club founded by Slovenian youth which ceased all operations due to World War II.[1] NK Branik was disbanded on 11 August 1960 due to the food poisoning affair before their promotional qualifications match for the Yugoslav Second League against Karlovac.[2][3][4][5][6] The club colours were black and white.
