History

KH Trepça was founded in 1950 in Mitrovicë. They competed in the Yugoslav regional campionship of Kosovo and in the second Yugoslav League. During the Yugoslav era they won the Regional Championship three times.[3] KH Trepça reached the Yugoslav First League in the 1979–80 season and were the first Kosovan club to achieve this huge success.[4] In 1991, KH Trepça like many other Kosovan clubs left the Yugoslav handball league system because Kosovo proclaimed independence from Serbia and they started competing in the Superliga. Trepça won the Kosovar Superliga in 1994 and 2001. In addition to that, Trepça won the Kosovar Cup in 1994, 2002 and 2023.
