The club was founded on 2 November 2010 under the name of Šibenik Stari Grad (Template:Lang-en).[1] In August 2011, the club changed its name to GKK Šibenik. As famous club KK Šibenik bankrupted, GKK Šibenik competed with local Jolly Šibenik to become most popular basketball club in town, carrying the legendary club's colors and playing in the same basketball hall Baldekin. GKK Šibenik won the sympathies of many Šibenik residents who now see the club as a successor to the famous KK Šibenik.

In the 2012–13 season, in which Šibenik played the second tier A-2 Liga, the club came first being promoted to the first tier. Today, they also plays in the first tier of the Croatia's basketball league system, HT Premijer liga.

In September 2016, the club management announced replacing Jeronimo Šarin with Vladimir Anzulović as head coach, and signing Miralem Halilović, Ive Ivanov, Luka Pandurić and Ivan Siriščević. Lastly, the club finished in third, beating Zagreb in the playoffs quarter-finals, and losing to powerhouse Cibona in the semifinals of the 2016–17 A-1 League playoffs.

In the 2017–18 season, the club finished in fifth place after losing in the quarter-finals of the championship play-offs to Split. Coach Anzulović left bench, which was taken by his former assistant Miro Jurić.

On 13 June 2019, after domestic league season was finished, a longtime main sponsor Doğuş Group announced they leave the club after six years of partnership.[2] On 27 June 2019, the club confirmed and presented newly formed board led by its president Ante Burić.[3][4] On 6 August 2019, the club management announced the club has changed name to GKK Šibenka (Građanski košarkaški klub Šibenka; Template:Lang-en).[5][6]

Supporters

The supporters of the club are called Šibenski funcuti. They were founded as a supporter association on 10 April 1983, a day after the famous game of the dissolved club KK Šibenik, in which the club celebrated beating Bosna Sarajevo,[a] as part of the Yugoslav league championship final, was played.

Notes

  1. ^ On 9 April 1983, Šibenka and Bosna played the deciding game 3 of their playoff final series that was decided in the very last second: with Bosna up by a point and the clock winding down as Šibenka had the last possession, Bosna's Sabit Hadžić was adjudged to have fouled Šibenka's Dražen Petrović as he went up for a shot at the buzzer. Since being in the act of shooting, Petrović got two free throws and proceeded to score both, winning the game and championship for his team. Next morning, the Basketball Federation of Yugoslavia (KSJ) presidency reviewed the game on account of supposed refereeing irregularities. They decided to void the result, ordering a rematch in Novi Sad. Šibenka decided to boycott the decision. Since Šibenka failed to show up for the Novi Sad game, the title got awarded to Bosna.[7]
