The club was founded in 2016 as 76 Iğdır Belediyespor. After defeating Iğdır Esspor, they were entitled to represent the Iğdır Province for the first time in season 2020–21 in the Turkish Regional Amateur League. The team managed to reach the play-offs finale, where it defeated Diyarbakırspor and got promoted to the TFF Third League, the fourth level in the Turkish football league system.

In September 2021 the name was officially changed to Iğdır Futbol Kulübü, while using the sponsor name Alagöz Holding Iğdır FK.[3] They made national headlines after contracting famous footballer Batuhan Karadeniz. Iğdır FK 2021–22 finished the season 3rd in TFF Third League 2nd group, beat 68 Aksaray Belediyespor in the play-off semi-finals and reached the final, lost as a result of penalties in the match against İskenderunspor in the final match, and lost the TFF Second League ticket.
