For most of the 2000s, Hercegovac Bileća competed in the Basketball Championship of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the top basketball league in the country. In 2002–03, the club participated in the FIBA Europe Regional Challenge Cup.[1] Hercegovac Bileća later withdrew from the Bosnian top league in 2012 and the club took on a new name in KK HEO and re-joined the second division Srpska Liga. They finished first on the Srpska Liga ladder in both 2012–13 and 2013–14, which earned them promotion to the Basketball Championship of Bosnia and Herzegovina for 2014–15. They returned to the Srpska Liga in 2015–16.[2]
