History

The first basketball club in Rogaška Slatina was founded in the early 1960s.[1] After Slovenia's independence, the team played in the top division and FIBA Korać Cup.[2] In 1997, the club abolished senior team due to financial problems and competed only in youth competitions, before in February 1998 the club was re-founded as KK Rogaška 98.[1] Rogaška earned promotion to the top division in 2011. In the 2014–15 and 2016–17 seasons, Rogaška reached the championship finals, where they lost 3–1 on both occasions, to Tajfun and Union Olimpija, respectively.[3][4]
