History

FK Grafičar was founded in 1948 in Nikšić, as a club of workers of state printing house Pobjeda.[1] After few months, with removal of Pobjeda, the club gone to Podgorica.

During the first decades of its existence, FK Grafičar, with seat at Stari Aerodrom quarter, participated in the Fourth League - Central. At that time, big local rivalry between FK Grafičar and FK Ribnica from neighbouring Konik settlement was born.

First significant success, FK Grafičar made at season 1970-71 by winning the Fourth League title and gained first-ever promotion to the Montenegrin Republic League.[2]

During the next two decades, FK Grafičar played overall ten seasons in third-ranked Republic League, often with relegations to lowest Regional League. Best results in Montenegrin Republic League, FK Grafičar made during the seasons 1972-73 and 1974–75, finishing as a third-placed team. During the start of the nineties, contract with Pobjeda printing house was finished, so FK Grafičar became an independent club.

After Montenegrin independence, FK Grafičar became a member of Montenegrin Third League. In October 2007, FK Grafičar played in the first round of the Montenegrin Cup, against FK Budućnost (0:2), and it is the greatest match in the history of the club.

At 2007, old stadium of FK Grafičar at Stari Aerodrom is broken,[3] so the club moved to Camp FSCG, on pitches shared with FK Mladost and FK Ribnica.

Historical success of FK Grafičar came at season 2014–15. After winning the Third League title, the club participated in the playoffs with FK Brskovo and FK Sloga Radovići and gained a promotion to the Montenegrin Second League.
