Football club "Oriku" was founded in the summer of 1955, when some local navy soldiers along with Soviet specialists from the Pashaliman military base, decided to create a football team which took part in a tournament held that year between the country's military units.

Named after the ancient Illyrian city of Oricum, the club encompasses a fanbase that covers the Orikum–Dukat–Tragjas–Radhimë region.

In May 2013, former mayor Gëzim Çapaj (today the club's administrator), together with head coach Albert Haxhiaj and a group of young talented players, in the qualifying matches of Kategoria e Tretë earned the right to take part in Kategoria e Dytë (South Group), for the 2013–14 season.

After five full seasons, Orikum climbed the ladder, joining Kategoria e Parë for the 2018–19 season where they finished fifth in Group B.^[2]
