First title of Fourth league champion, Igalo won in the 1975–76 season. That success gained them first-ever promotion to the Montenegrin Republic League, in which they spent most of the time until Montenegrin independence (2006). [1]

They competed only one season in Federal rank, and new success came during the 1995–96 season. That year, FK Igalo won the title of the Montenegrin Republic League champion, and gained first-ever promotion to the Second Yugoslav League. FK Igalo made that season double, with winning the Montenegrin Republic Cup. The team played one season in the Second League (1996–97), finished at the bottom of the table.

Historical list of coaches

Stadium

FK Igalo plays their home games at Stadion Solila. Until the middle of the nineties, football ground in Igalo was among amateur-pitches like neighbouring Stadion Opačica or Stadion Bijela. But, with FK Igalo promotion to the Second Yugoslav League, on old ground location was built new stadium with one terrace and numerous pitches around the main ground.
During the winter months, because of good climate and accommodation, the stadium is used for exhibition matches, tournaments, trainings and preparations of many football teams from the region (Montenegro, Serbia, North Macedonia, Albania, Kosovo, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia).
