Founded in 1975, Football club Cetinje started as a team of printing house Obod. [1] So, the first name of the club was FK Štampar. From 1978, the team participated under the name FK Tara, and since 1991 its name changed to FK Cetinje. Club is coming from the town with strong football tradition, and their neighbouring FK Lovćen is the oldest Montenegrin sports club and member of Montenegrin First League. [2]

In the 2009-10 season, they won a title in Third League - Southern Region, but with defeats against FK Iskra and FK Pljevlja in playoffs didn't succeed to qualify for the Montenegrin Second League.
