Kobrat Lapua, originally founded as LaKoPo, was renamed in 2000. From 2000 to 2003, the team competed in Finland’s II Division. At the end of 2003, led by J‑P Nieminen and Miikka Sopanen, Kobrat Lapua earned promotion to the I Division.
During their nine seasons in the I Division, the team consistently performed at a high level, finishing in the top five six times. Between 2009 and 2012, Kobrat Lapua repeatedly qualified for the top league but narrowly missed winning the finals. In 2012, the Finnish Basketball Association promoted the club to the top league (Korisliiga), recognizing its strong potential.
Over the following seven years, the organization continued to develop its professionalism and operating environment. In 2017, the team officially adopted the name “Kobrat” and reached the playoffs for the first time, repeating this achievement in 2021 and 2024.
In the current season (2025–2026), Ville Turja continues as head coach, and the team has built a strong and positive working atmosphere. Despite this, it appears that next season Kobrat will compete in the I Division after 13 consecutive seasons in Korisliiga.
