Athletik Sportklub, commonly referred to as Athletik SK or simply Athletik, was a Slovenian football club from Celje. The club was founded in 1906. Athletik was founded by the Germanic part of Celje's population, as the city had a strong German influence in this period. It was also referred to as Cillier Sportverein in the first part of 1920 season.
It is curious to mention that Austrian striker Karl Dürschmied was in 1921 helding a post of player-manager at the club, and he accepted playing for the team of the Ljubljana Football Subassociation which played a friendly exibitin game against France while in their tour in Yugoslavia, a game often considered as the first ever game of the Slovenian national team. Later, when Dürschmied returned to Austria and was playing with Wiener SC, he made an official debut for a national team, Austrian, in 1926.
