[edit] History

NK Domžale was formed in 1921, and is one of the oldest Slovenian football clubs. It's current stadium, Športni park was built in 1948. It was renovated and modernized in 1997 and 1999. Work on the new, western stand, started in October 2003 and it was finished in April 2004. On 29 June 2006 the stadium received reflectors, mounted on 4 concrete towers and strategically placed at each corner of the stadium. There are 120 in total, allowing matches to be played in the evening.

The club's golden age began in summer of 2002, when Slaviša Stojanovič became head coach. He brought NK Domžale into 1.SNL. In the 2005/2006 season they advanced through the first two qualifying rounds of the UEFA Cup, before being eliminated in the First Round by VfB Stuttgart. They played in the 2006/2007 qualifying rounds but were eliminated by Hapoel Tel Aviv. After a 4-0 away win against NK Primorje on 13 May, Domžale were confirmed as league champions for the first time. This win makes the club only the fourth to claim the title since the independent league's formation in 1991/1992.^[1]
