History ŠD Brezje was founded in 2011, when the club started competing in the Slovenian second division. In their second season, the team was promoted to the top tier Slovenian Futsal League. After finishing in third place in the 2014–15 season, the team won the league title in the 2015–16 season, defeating FC Litija 3–1 in series in the final. The club, competing under the name PROEN Maribor due to sponsorship reasons, has also won the Slovenian Cup in the same season.
In the 2016–17 season, ŠD Brezje debuted in international competitions as the club competed in the 2016–17 UEFA Futsal Cup, where they reached the elite round. The team has won the Slovenian Cup trophy for the second time in a row during the 2016–17 season, defeating Bronx Škofije 6–2 in the final on 5 March 2017.

In the same season, Brezje failed to retain the national championship as the team finished the season in third place. After the 2018–19 season, when Brezje finished as runners-up of the national league, the team was dissolved due to financial problems.
