KK Tikvesh was founded on 11 January 1970.[2]
Name: KK Tikvesh before it was Alumni Dekom Tikvesh (1995-1997), Orka Sport (1997-1999), Tikvesh (1999-2002), Feni Industries (2005-2019), EuroNickel 2005 (born 2019).
The team was taken under the leadership of the local FErro-NIckel mining company "Feni Industries AD" in 2005, while the smelter was under the control of Beny Steinmetz.
Since 2008, KK Tikvesh has organized the international basketball tournament “Dimitar Gjorgjiev", in Kavadarci.
In 2019, due to the difficulties of Steinmetz and because of the uncertain economic climate for the smelter's output, the company faced court-ordered administration. The result of this process was the sale of the smelter to an organization called Euronickel,[3] who also took on the sponsorship of the basketball team. In the summer of 2023 EuroNickel planned to step down and stop being the main financial brand of Kavadarci club. However, company remained as the main sponsor of the club and the name was not changed.[4]
