History of Bokelj started at the second decade of 20th century. The team was founded on 30 July 1922 as SK Primorac.[1] Primorac played its first game against FK Zrinjski Tivat and won 2–1. In 1926, the team was renamed as FK Bokelj and until 1941 played numerous seasons in the Montenegrin Football Championship. In that period, FK Bokelj played four times in the final of the Montenegrin Championship, but never won it.
After the war, Bokelj started to play in the Montenegrin Republic League in 1947. Only four years later, the team from Kotor were promoted to the Yugoslav Second League (season 1951). From that year to 1991, FK Bokelj played overall nine seasons in the Yugoslav Second League.
