Nogometno Društvo Mura 05, commonly referred to as ND Mura 05 or simply Mura 05, was a Slovenian football club, from the town of Murska Sobota. The club was established on 16 June 2005. The club's home ground was Fazanerija stadium with a capacity of 3,782 seats. During the summer of 2013 Mura 05 were declared bankrupt and dissolved months after the 2012–13 season, after they have spent two successive seasons in the top division.
ND Mura 05 was founded on 16 June 2005. The club emerged after the dissolution of NK Mura, a club which played in the Slovenian Slovenian PrvaLiga for many years, but went bankrupt and was dissolved in 2004. However, ND Mura 05 is legally not considered to be the successor of NK Mura and the statistics and honours of the two clubs are kept separate by the Football Association of Slovenia and the Association of 1. SNL.
Mura 05 finished the 2010–11 Slovenian Second League on fourth place, behind Aluminij, Interblock and Dravinja. However, all three clubs declined promotion to the Slovenian PrvaLiga due to financial reasons. As the next club on the table Mura 05 received and accepted an invitation to join the top division. Although the main goal of the season was to stay in the top division, Mura 05 exceeded their expectations and finished the 2011–12 Slovenian PrvaLiga in third place, gaining the right to play in the UEFA Europa League in the next season. After the 2012–13 season, the club went into the financial difficulties again and was dissolved. The newly established club used its youth selections to register a team for the 2013–14 season under the name NŠ Mura.
