==History==

===1975–1986: early years=== The club was established under the name '''KK ILR Železnik''' in 1975 on the joint initiative of the Ivo Lola Ribar Machine Factory (named after Yugoslav communist politician and military leader Ivo Lola Ribar) and the Železnik local community administrative board. Initially, the club was part of the Ivo Lola Ribar Sports Society, which, in addition to basketball, also fielded teams in football, handball, volleyball, boxing, bowling, archery, and chess.<ref name="history">{{cite web|url=https://dostupnibeograd.rs/info?id=543|title=FMP Železnik|publisher=dostupnibeograd.rs|access-date=21 June 2022}}</ref>

During its beginnings, the club competed in the Belgrade Municipal League (Belgrade Zone), playing its home games on the outdoor concrete court belonging to the Braća Jerković Elementary School. Since the local league was run in the spring-summer period, the club also entered the Belgrade Winter League in order to maintain the fitness level until the start of the next season. The new club was well-received by Železnik residents who often packed the small home court. Over time, as interest in basketball grew throughout the community, the club started developing a youth system by adding various age categories.<ref name="history"/>

In the 1980s, the Železnik's senior squad starting posting notable results as the club progressed from the lower leagues. By the mid-1980s, they made it to Serbian Provincial League. However, with promotion to a higher level of competition, the operating costs also started rising. Unable to cover the costs of renting a basketball hall in which to compete, ILR Železnik effectively folded in 1986 as basketball activities ceased.<ref name="history"/>

===1991–2011: years of success=== The club was inactive until 1991 when it got reestablished under the name '''KK FMP Železnik''' on the initiative of the ''Fabrika metalnih proizvoda'' (Metal Products Factory), which became the club's owner. Almost immediately, the reestablished club continued where it had left-off in 1986. Following a season in the Second Serbian Provincial League, the club gained promotion to the First Provincial League. For the 1994–95 season, FMP Železnik made it to the YUBA B League, the 2nd-tier league in FR Yugoslavia. In this season, they won a top spot with only four losses, winning promotion to the YUBA League. On the club's 20th anniversary, in the 1995–96 season, FMP Železnik competed in the national top-tier league, finishing third the Group Three and gaining qualification into the second stage, the Championship League, where they finished ninth with a 19–17 record.<ref>{{cite web |title=Sezona 1995/96|url=http://nsl.kosarka.co.yu/History4.aspx |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080605191833/http://nsl.kosarka.co.yu/History4.aspx |archive-date=2008-06-05 |website=kosarka.co.yu |access-date=11 June 2022}}</ref> In 1997, the club won its first major trophy, the Yugoslav Cup, after a 105–92 win over Partizan Inex in Niš.<ref>{{cite web |title=KUP: Deveti uzastopni trofej Partizanove dinastije |url=https://mondo.ba/Sport/Kosarka/a72914/KUP-Deveti-uzastopni-trofej-Partizanove-dinastije.html |website=mondo.ba |access-date=22 June 2022}}</ref> The club has never won a National League title, even they went into three finals (1996–97, 1997–98, 2002–03).<ref name="history"/>
