History
KF Trepça Mitrovicë are six times Kosovar champions and one time winners of the Kosovar Cup.
The most successful period of KF Trepça's history was the 1976-77 season when they won promotion to top division of football in Yugoslavia. KF Trepça played in the Yugoslav Prva Liga and reached the Cup final during the 1977-78 season, when they lost 0:1 to NK Rijeka in the final. KF Trepça got relegated to the second division of football the same year.
From the 1987-88 season KF Trepça has played in the Kosovar divisions only, which at the time were at regional level, not national. However, moving back to the Kosovar League wasn't as successful as hoped, although the club won the league and the cup once. Following the 1994-95 season, KF Trepça were relegated to the second division of football in Kosovo. The 2002-03 season was one of the worst in the club's history when they avoided relegation to the third division by one point and suffered the club's worst ever defeat, a 0:10 thrashing by KF KEK.
The 2006-07 season saw KF Trepça's return to the top division of football when they were promoted to the Kosovar Superliga as a result of the expansion of the division from 12 to 16 teams. KF Trepça finished third in the second division, Liga e Parë, and would have otherwise missed the promotion.[1]
