History

NK Kras Repen was formally established in Repen, part of the municipality of Monrupino, in 1986.
The club was born from the ashes of the football section of Olimpija, a club founded in the hamlet of Gabrovizza, in the Sgonico comune. In 1974, the section passed into the hands of the Kras Sports Club in Sgonico, a sports club that also had a volleyball and table tennis section. In 1986, the football section of Kras separated from the sports club and became an independent association under the presidency of Andrej Race.
The team played in Terza and Seconda Categoria until the 2004–05 season, when the club, then chaired by Domenico Centrone, won promotion to Prima Categoria. That historic result marked the beginning of a successful five-year period for the team. In the following season, Kras Repen was promoted again, winning promotion to the Promozione.
In the 2007–08 season, the club was coached by former Soviet and Belarusian international player Sergei Aleinikov. The contact was made due to the club's main sponsor, Koimpex, working with companies in Belarus. In the 2008–09 season, Kras obtained its first promotion to Eccellenza, the fifth tier of Italian football.
