History

 

Olimpija – Domžale in the 2011–12 Slovenian PrvaLiga season at Stožice Stadium

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

The club's golden age began in the summer of 2002, when Slaviša Stojanovič became a head coach and brought them into 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 played in the 2006–07 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] They won another league title in the 2007–08 season.^[3]

Stadium

Domžale play their home games at the Domžale Sports Park, which was built in 1948. The stadium was renovated and modernized in 1997 and 1999. Work on the new western stand started in October 2003 and was finished in April 2004.^[4] In June 2006, the stadium received floodlights, mounted on four concrete towers and placed at each corner of the stadium.^[5]
