History

The club was founded in 1919 as Rinia Gostivar.[2] They merged with FK Gostivar in 2010 and were renamed KF Gostivari with the original FK Gostivar getting dissolved.

In the 2012–13 season, Gostivar finished second and was promoted to the Macedonian First League for the first time in club history.[3]

Its first win in 2013/14 season was on 18/08/2013 against FK Rabotnički. Gostivar's defender Ekrem Hodžić scored two goals contributing in the 2–0 win.

They finished as runners-up in the 2022–23 Macedonian Second Football League and were once again promoted to the Macedonian First League for the 2023/24 season.
