The Maribor Generals were founded on May 21, 2008.[2]
In October 2009, the Generals, along with the Ljubljana Silverhawks, Alp Devils, and Gold Diggers, began to organize the first Slovenian Football League. The Generals played their first official match of the Slovenian Championship against the Alp Devils, defeating them by a score of 25–13 and scoring the first touchdown of a national championship with a kickoff return.
In 2012, the Generals reached the Slovenian Bowl II, where they were defeated by the Sliverhawks, 23–10.[3] In the 2013 season, the difference in points made the Generals reached the Slovenian Bowl once again, but the Silverhawks defeated them again.[4]
In 2016, the Generals played in the Division 2 of the Austrian Football League, where the team finished in the first place without a single defeat after the regular part of the season,[5] but were defeated in the IX Iron Bowl against the Styrian Bears, held in Graz.[6] In the next season, the Generals once again reached the finals of the Division 2; this time, the team defeated Telfs Patriots and won the X Iron Bowl, thus securing promotion to the Division 1.[7][8]
