History

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

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).
