The club was founded on the same day in early February 2012 when the old club Vukovar '91, who played 1 season in Croatia's top division, was dissolved due to bankruptcy.[1]
New club's first season in fourth-tier competition was successful, as they got promoted to the 3. HNL (now known as 2. NL), third-tier competition. They remained there until 2022–23 season, when they got promoted to First football league, second-tier competition.[2]
In the 2024-25 season, the club has won Croatian First Football League and therefore achieved promotion to SuperSport HNL, the top tier of Croatian football for the first time in the current incarnation and after 25 years considering the old Vukovar 1991 records.[3] Due to the club's stadium not meeting requirements of the first tier of Croatian football, they will play their home matches at Stadion HNK Cibalia in the near town of Vinkovci.[4]
