After relegation, it even went to the third division in 1998. After 3 years the path led in 2002 to fourth division, a small success was recorded in 2006 with the return to the third division. For financial reasons, they merged with NK Polet Buševec in 2009, was renamed HNK Gorica Velika Gorica and played in the first season in the second division and took first place there.
