History
The first football club in Vipava started to operate in 1919, when Vipava was under the rule of the Italians, and it remained active until the beginning of the World War II. The first match is officially documented to have been played against Postojna. The game took place in Vipava and was won by the home team with the result 3–0. After the World War II, or more specifically, after 1967, the club competed in the Yugoslavian lower leagues. Beside the local football players, the officers and soldiers of the Yugoslav People's Army represented the club. In 1996, a new club was founded under the current name NK Vipava.
