 The generations from the 1970s Trepča that made Mitrovica an important point in the Yugoslav football map are part of the heritage of FK Trepča K. Mitrovica that in 1999 moved to the northern part of the town and plays nowadays in Serbian lower leagues.However KF Trepca claims that heritage for themselves.After the Kosovo war in 1999, the city was divided into a southern part with an almost exclusively Kosovo Albanian population and a northern part with a non-Albanian or predominantly Serb population.
