==History==

The club was founded in 1923 as ''Club Calcistico Giovanile Isola d'Istria'', when the city of [[Izola|Isola]] was part of Italy. It was known as ''Ampelea Isola d'Istria'' between 1930 and 1946, and played in [[Serie C]] between 1937 and 1946. Italian internationals [[Giuseppe Grezar]],<ref>[http://www.tuttotrieste.net/prsng/grezar.htm Pino Grezar] at tuttotrieste.net. Retrieved 10 May 2015 {{in lang|it}}.</ref> [[Alberto Eliani]] and [[Aredio Gimona]] played with Ampelea in the 1943–44 season. Due to the occupation of [[Istria]] and the [[Trieste operation|Trieste territory]] by the Yugoslav Army, it was forced to change its name to the more proletarian sounding ''Unione Sportiva Isola'', and finally to ''NK Izola'' in 1951.<ref>{{Cite web|title=La favola dell'Ampelea di Isola d'Istria|url=https://www.vascotto.it/genealogy/isola-d-istria/la-favola-dell-ampelea-di-isola-d-istria|access-date=6 November 2021|website=vascotto.it|language=it-IT}}</ref>
The club was dissolved after the [[1995–96 Slovenian PrvaLiga]] season due to financial problems. A successor club was established in 1996 under the name [[MNK Izola]].<ref name = "Klubi">{{cite web | url = http://www.nzs.si/tekmovanja/?action=vsiKlubi&id_menu=35 | title = Klubi |trans-title=Clubs | publisher = [[Football Association of Slovenia]] | access-date = 29 July 2016 | language = sl }}</ref>
