However, the club withdrew from the First League of RS in the
2019–20 season. Issues arose in the summer when the club had difficulty paying the 100,000 km guaranteed to secure their spot in the league. A number of players left over the summer due to financial issues as well.
The league ultimately let the club participate, but the club's finances meant it ended up playing its juniors in the first two games of the season, losing 8–0 and 10–0 respectively. Sloga then failed to show up to their third-round game at home without requesting a postponement.
The club finally withdrew from the league on 31 August 2019.
