History
The club was founded in 1919 as HGŽK Cibalia Vinkovci. In 1925 the team merged with RŠK Sloga. During World War II the club ceased to exist. After the war a revived Sloga and OFD Graničar merged to form NK Dinamo Vinkovci. The club would see several humble decades before finally making it to the Yugoslav First League in 1982. They played in the top-tier league for five years until they were relegated to the second league once more in 1987.
In 1990 the team returned to its more traditional name which it currently holds. Cibalia spent much of the 1990s in the Prva HNL with its highest finish being fifth place. It remained in the Prva HNL until the 2003/2004 season when it was relegated to the Second League. The club was also penalized by FIFA the same season by six points (the equivalent of two victories) for failure to fulfill financial obligations in past player transfers. Nevertheless, in the 2004/2005 season, Cibalia outdid all of its opponents in the Second League by a large margin, won the promotion playoffs and returned to Prva HNL.
Cibalia also had some success playing in the Croatian Cup, where it reached the final (and lost to Osijek) in 1999 and semifinal in 2004.
The 2009–10 season was Cibalia's best ever season in the top division of Croatian football. They finished third after Dinamo and Hajduk, having spent most of the season at number two, and qualified for the second qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League They lost to Cliftonville of Belfast.
