History

[edit]

Early ages (2010–2019)

[edit]

FK Ilarion was founded in 2010 as Fer-plej. Prior to 2019, the club did not have a senior team and competed only in youth categories. In 2019, a senior team was established to compete in the 2019–20 Montenegrin Third League season.[3]

Montenegrin Third League (2019–present)

[edit]

FK Ilarion made their debut as a senior team in the 2019–20 season of the Montenegrin Third League. However, in the middle of the 2019–20 season, the Montenegrin Third League was abandoned due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, the Football Association of Montenegro decided that the tables would be stood as of the 17th round.[4] Ilarion finished ninth that season with 7 points.[5] The following season was better for Ilarion, as they finished in seventh place in the 2020–21 season of the Montenegrin Third League with 38 points.[6] Ilarion continued to improve, finishing fifth in the 2021–22 season.[7] One of Ilarion’s players, Vuk Lukić, was the top scorer of the Montenegrin Third League – Central region, with 30 goals.[8] The 2022–23 season was worse for Ilarion, as they finished five places lower than the previous season, ending in tenth place with 27 points.[9] In the 2023–24 season, Ilarion finished in fifth place with 36 points.[10]

The 2024–25 season was by far FK Ilarion's best, as they finished in second place, which qualified them for the playoff for the title of the Montenegrin Third League – Central region alongside Zabjelo, Internacional, and Čelik. Ilarion were drawn against Zabjelo and lost 3–0 in the playoff semi-finals.[11][12] As of the 2025–26 season, FK Ilarion competes in the Montenegrin Third League — Central region.
