History
In the 2013–14 Second League of Republika Srpska season play-off, Krupa got an appearance in the First League of the Republika Srpska for the season 2014–15. After only two years playing in the 2nd tier and after the season 2015–16, the team got promoted for the first time in its history to the Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
In the 2017–18 Bosnian Cup, Krupa, led by manager Slobodan Starčević, got to the cup final losing to Željezničar in two matches (2–0 at Sarajevo and 2–4 at Krupa na Vrbasu), thus finishing as runners-up.
In the 2018–19 Bosnian Premier League season, Krupa finished on 11th place and it got relegated back to the First League of RS. Then, in the 2019–20 First League of RS season, the club secured promotion back to the Premier League, though after the season was ended abruptly due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and by default Krupa finished in 1st place and got promoted.
In the 2020–21 Premier League season, Krupa initially avoided relegation to the First League of RS, but were then relegated back to the league due to failing to obtain a license for the Premier League.
