History

FK Gorštak was founded in 1927, as a first football team from Kolašin. During the next decade, the team played in the Montenegrin Football Championship, but without any significant success.[1]
Most known game in Kolašin from that time was against notable Montenegrin side FK Budućnost (1-7), which was attended by 1,000 spectators.
After World War II, FK Gorštak played qualifiers for the Montenegrin Republic League. First biggest success came in 1969-70 when FK Gorštak won the title of the Fourth League - Central Region champion and gained its first-ever promotion to the Montenegrin Republic League. During the rest of the 20th century, the team from Kolašin spent most of their seasons in the lowest rank, with two another promotions to the Republic League (seasons 1984–85 and 1990–91). During the nineties, the team spent few seasons in the Montenegrin Republic League and that was the decade of team's biggest results in history. After the financial difficulties, FK Gorštak was relegated from Republic League in the 1999-2000 season,[2] which was their last year in that competition.
Following Montenegrin independence (2006), FK Gorštak became a member of the lowest-tier (Montenegrin Third League). Since then, the team is a permanent member of competition, without significant attempt or ambitions to gain promotion to the Second League due to financial troubles.[3]
In seasons 2011–12 and 2015–16, FK Gorštak played in the finals of the Central Region Cup, but were defeated both times. With that result, the team from Kolašin qualified for the Montenegrin Cup. First time in the 2012-13 season, they surprisingly won the First round game against OFK Bar (1-0), but were eliminated in the Round of 16, against First League member OFK Grbalj (0-2; 0-3). Next time, in the First round of the 2016–17 Montenegrin Cup, FK Gorštak was eliminated by neighbour-side FK Brskovo after penalties (2-4).
