Nogometni klub Domžale (English: Domžale Football Club), commonly referred to as NK Domžale or simply Domžale, was a Slovenian professional football club from the town of Domžale. Founded in 1920, Domžale spent 28 seasons in the Slovenian PrvaLiga, the top tier of Slovenian football, until the club was dissolved in early 2026 due to financial problems. They played their home matches at the Domžale Sports Park.

Domžale's golden era was in the 2000s, when the club was promoted back to the top flight and subsequently won two consecutive top division titles under manager Slaviša Stojanović, in 2007 and 2008. In addition, they also won two Slovenian Cups (2011 and 2017) and two Slovenian Supercups (2007 and 2011).

History

NK Domžale were founded in 1920 as SK Disk.[1]

The club's golden age began in the summer of 2002, when Slaviša Stojanović took over as the head coach and secured promotion to the Slovenian top division. In the 2005–06 season, they advanced through the first two qualifying rounds of the UEFA Cup before being eliminated in the first round by VfB Stuttgart. They also played in the 2006–07 UEFA Cup qualifying rounds, but were eliminated by Hapoel Tel Aviv. After a 4–0 win against Primorje on 13 May 2007, Domžale were confirmed as league champions for the first time,[2] a feat they repeated the following season.[3]

In January 2026, Domžale announced that they had failed to attract an investor who could keep the club alive.[4] Subsequently, the club withdrew from the top division and was dissolved due to financial problems.[5]

Stadium

Domžale played their home games at the 3,100-capacity Domžale Sports Park, built in 1948. The new western stand was built between October 2003 and April 2004.[6] In June 2006, four floodlights were added (in each corner of the stadium), allowing matches to be played at night.[7]
