Founded in 1922, FK Zora played only non-league matches before World War II. First seasons in official competitions, the team played during the middle of fifties (since 1954-55 season), as a member of lowest-rank, then known under the name Titogradski fudbalski podsavez.[1]
First success, the team made at 1966, under the name FK Spuž. After qualifiers, they gained first-ever promotion to the Montenegrin Republic League 1966-67 (third rank). After five consecutive seasons in the Republic League, FK Spuž was relegated to the Fourth League - Central region, but new comeback to the third-tier was made in the 1975-76 season. Always at the lower part of the table, FK Spuž played another three consecutive seasons in the Republic League, before the new relegation.
During the 1980s, FK Spuž played only at bottom-league. New performance in the Third League came in 1990, but only for two seasons. In 1994, the team has regained its original name - FK Zora.

During the 2002-03 season, after hard struggle with OFK Grbalj, FK Zora finished as a runner-up of the Montenegrin Republic League.[2] Two years later, FK Zora dominated in the Montenegrin Republic League and won the champion title with 69 points from 33 games.[3] With that result, the team from Spuž gained historical promotion to the 2005-06 Serbia and Montenegro Second League.
