NK Čelik Zenica

The club was founded on 16 June 1945 by a group of World War II veterans. The name of the club had been proposed by one of the founders, Zdenko Mazanek, to symbolize the strength of the club and its link to the workers of the city's metallurgical industry. Čelik was relegated from the Bosnian Premier League for the first time ever in the 2019–20 season. Subsequently, to stabilise the club due to financial difficulties, its General Assembly voted to continue competing in the fourth tier-League of Zenica-Doboj Canton on 13 July 2020. In 2023, Čelik got promoted to the First League of FBiH, the second level of football in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The club then managed to earn promotion back to the Premier League in the 2025–26 season.
