FK Kom was founded in 1958 in Podgorica suburb Zlatica, named after Kom Kučki, the top of Komovi mountain. At the same time, the name was an acronym of the words Komunistička omladina Mosora (Communist Youth of Mosor).

On their historical debut in top-tier, on 9 August 2003, Kom was defeated against Obilić in Belgrade (1-3).^[5] Next week, Kom played first home game - a big local derby against Zeta (1-2). Because their Stadion Zlatica didn't meet the criteria, the match was played at Podgorica City Stadium in front of 6,000 spectators, which is the biggest home attendance in the team's history. On 13 September, Kom hosted former European champion and national title winner Red Star Belgrade (0:2).^[6] Biggest sensation during the season, Kom made on 6 March 2004, with the draw against favorited side Partizan (0:0).

In the 2009-10 season, Kom finished as a last-placed team, with poor performance of 5 wins and 3 draws in 33 games. Except that, on 29 May 2010, they lost against OFK Grbalj with result of 0-11, which is the biggest defeat in the history of the Montenegrin First League until today. So, after four consecutive seasons in the top-tier, Kom was relegated to the Montenegrin Second League.

Next period, Kom spent mostly in the Second League, with one season (2012–13) in the Montenegrin Third League. New success, Kom made in the 2016–17 season.
