About NK Žepče

NK Žepče is a football club from the town of Žepče in central Bosnia and Herzegovina, founded in 1919 and today registered as NK Žepče 1919. Over its history the club changed its name several times and competed longest under the name Orlovik. Its home ground is the Žepče City Stadium, which holds around 4,000 spectators.

The club enjoyed its most successful period in the early 2000s. Playing as NK Zovko Žepče, it won the First League of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2001–02 and then spent six seasons, from 2002 to 2008, in the Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina; from 2003 it was known as Žepče Limorad after its main sponsor.

Žepče's only European campaign came in the 2005–06 UEFA Cup, where it met Bashkimi of Macedonia in the first qualifying round. The first leg was awarded 3–0 to Bashkimi because Žepče had fielded an ineligible player, and a 1–1 draw at home ended the tie. The club now plays in the lower tiers of Bosnian football.
