History
The club was founded in 1920 as Budva FK, changing to its current name in 1991.
Mogren have been ever-present in the Montenegrin First League since its inception in 2006, finishing 5th in its inaugural season.[1] In the second season of the league, (2007–08), the club finished in third place on 66 points, losing out on the title on goal difference to Buducnost.[2] The position allowed Mogren to compete in the 2008-09 UEFA Cup, where they played Israeli club Hapoel Ironi Kiryat in the first qualifying round. Despite a 1–1 away draw in the first leg, Mogren went out 4–1 on aggregate.[3] On May 7, 2008, Mogren won their first silverware by defeating Buducnost 6–5 on penalties after a 1–1 draw in the Montenegrin Cup final at the Stadion Pod Goricom in Podgorica.[4]
Mogren won their first league title in 2008–09 with a four-point margin over Buducnost, and qualified for the UEFA Champions League for the first time.[5] Their Champions League campaign in 2009–10 opened with a 6–0 aggregate victory over Hibernians of Malta before a 12–0 aggregate defeat to FC Copenhagen of Denmark in the second qualifying round. In the 2009–10 season, Mogren finished third in the league to qualify for the first qualifying round of the next season's UEFA Europa League, where they won 5–0 on aggregate over UE Santa Coloma of Andorra. The second leg saw Mogren take on Israeli club Maccabi Tel Aviv and lose the first leg 2–0 away. The subsequent 2–1 home victory for Mogren saw them eliminated 3–2 on aggregate.[6]
Mogren gained their second league title in 2010–11 on goal difference after both they and Buducnost finished level on 73 points.[7] On 28 May that year, Mogren played in their second Montenegrin Cup final, but were defeated 5–4 on penalties by Rudar after a 2–2 draw.[8] The league triumph allowed Mogren to enter the 2011-12 UEFA Champions League, which saw them eliminated immediately in the second qualifying round after losing both legs to Litex Lovech of Bulgaria.

The club play at Stadion Mogren, which has a capacity for 4,000 people. It is scheduled to be demolished replaced with a hotel, with its roof serving as the club's new 17,000-seater stadium.[citation needed]
