History


FK Iskra was founded in 1919, under the name RSK Sloga Danilovgrad.[1] Since 1929, the team played under the name RSK Zmaj, with their first-ever performance in Montenegrin Football Championship on season 1933-34.[2]

After the World War II, the team started to play under the name FK Iskra. First significant success, FK Iskra made with promotion to Montenegrin Republic League 1948-49.[3] Another historical success, FK Iskra made in summer 1956. After playoff games against FK Bokelj, the team from Danilovgrad gained their first-ever promotion to Yugoslav Second League (1956–57), but finished as a last-placed team. Next year, the team was dissolved after the financial troubles,[4] but it was refounded in 1959.

On season 1969-70, FK Iskra won the champion title in Montenegrin Republic League and gained new promotion to Yugoslav Second League. This time, they spent two seasons in Second League, among some of well-known national sides as FK Budućnost, FK Sutjeska or NK GOŠK. On 28 November 1971, FK Iskra made historical win against neighbouring Podgorica's and Montenegrin strongest side FK Budućnost (1:0).

Until the middle of nineties, FK Iskra played only in third and fourth division, without significant successes. On season 1993-94, FK Iskra made huge successes, with the 'double' on Republic level. The team from Danilovgrad became a champion of Montenegrin Republic League and, for the first time in history, title of Montenegrin Republic Cup winner. That gained them promotion to Yugoslav Second League 1994-95 and the very first performance in Yugoslav Cup. After poor performance, FK Iskra finished as 19th team in Second League, so were relegated to the third-tier competition. In 1994–95 FR Yugoslavia Cup, FK Iskra made surprise in the first leg, with victory against First league member FK Sloboda (2:0). But, in the Round of 16, FK Iskra was eliminated by Yugoslav title-holder FK Partizan (0-3; 0-10). During the next period, FK Iskra played between Yugoslav Second League and Montenegrin League. In second tier, team from Danilovgrad participated on season 1996-97, and from 2000 to 2003.

Following Montenegrin independence (2006), FK Iskra played in Second and Third League, but first notable successes came after 2013. On season 2013-14, FK Iskra won the champion title in Third League. Next year, after the hard struggle with FK Dečić, team from Danilovgrad became a champion of Second League. With that result, FK Iskra gained historical, first-ever promotion to Montenegrin First League.[5]

On their debut in the First League (season 2015-16), FK Iskra finished at 10th position, but remained a member of top-tier after the playoffs against FK Bratstvo (6-0; 2-2).
