History

edit

The first ball in Gabela was brought by Andrija Korda and Vidan Krvavac in 1919, from Mostar.[2]

1941–45 the club was dissolved because of World War II. In 1948 the club was formed again. The club was named GOŠK after the recommendations of Milorad Mandrapa in 1958. Under the name GOŠK, the club achieved gradual improvement in competitive results. Gabela ranked among the most popular sports village in the former Yugoslavia. In the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, GOŠK mostly played in the Fourth Unfederal League (Mostar zone) in the seasons (1948–60, 1962–63, 1964–66, 1968–92) and three times in the Third League (1961–62, 1963–64, 1966–67).[3]

In the 1990s, GOŠK played in the First League of Herzeg-Bosnia, between 2001 and 2003 in the Second League of FBiH, and between 2003 and 2011 in the First League of FBiH. In the 2010–11 season, GOŠK won 1st place in the First League of FBiH and got promoted to the Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the elite football league in the country. They managed to repeat that achievement in the 2016–17 season and played in the Bosnian Premier League until the 2018–19 season when the club finished last in 12th place and got relegated back to the First League of FBiH.[4] GOŠK was promoted back to the Premier League in the 2022–23 First League of FBiH season.[5]
