history

The team was founded in 1950 within the sports association TVD Partizan and took its current name in 1954. After Slovenia's independence, the former Yugoslav second division team moved up to the highest Slovenian league, 1. SKL, to which the team belonged from 1991 to 1996. It reached in the first season 1991/92 the play-off semi- final series for the championship, in which one was defeated by the KK Smelt Olimpija from the capital Ljubljana in two games. In the 1998/99 season they reached ninth place after being promoted again, before moving into the championship round of the six best teams in the following season, but missed the play-offs in sixth place. But this was enough to participate in the Korać Cup 2000/01 , in which you lost both games in the first qualifying round against the Hungarian representative Atomerőmű SE .

Taking into account the Slovenian teams active in the supranational Adriatic Basketball League (ABA League) , Triglav was no longer one of the top eight teams of a season from 2000 in the following seasons and finally rose at the end of the 2004/05 season as penultimate from the highest League from. After the direct resurgence followed in the 2006/07 season as the last of the direct relegation. At the latest afterwards, Triglav was overtaken by local rivals KK Šenčur , who, however, could not keep consistently in the top division. Since the 2011/12 season Triglav has consistently belonged to the top half of the table in the Slovenian second division.
