History

Former logo (until 2020).

Founded in 1974, the club became the basketball center in the south-west of SR Bosnia and Herzegovina but never played in the Yugoslavian elite league in the past.

First being registered under the name KK Mladost the club participated in lower leagues for years but had to stop its activities for two years in 1992 due to War in Bosnia. Afterwards the club was renamed HKK Široki and got a place in the newly established Bosnian national league and in 1998 took the double crown, in the national championship and in the national cup. Moving to the Pecara Sports Hall, with a capacity of 4,500 seats, the richest period in the club's history was still to come. Široki Hercegtisak received the invitation to the ABA League in the first years of its existence and was unbeatable in both domestic championships between 2002 and 2004. It was the club's decision to also participate in the FIBA European competitions for years, but as it is located in the Croatian part of the country the club became more orientated toward the neighboring country of Croatia after the war in the 90's.
