NK Čelik (Nogometni Klub Čelik) is a football club from Bosnia and Herzegovina, playing in the city of Zenica.
The name Čelik means "Steel", which symbolizes the strength and power of the club and the city, Zenica is an industrial city well known in this part of Europe.
NK Čelik is one of the most prominent and successful football teams in Bosnia and Herzegovina. During the time of the former Yugoslavia, Čelik played 17 years in the Yugoslav First League. Čelik won the Mitropa Cup two times, and the Intertoto Cup once. Today, Čelik is in the Football Association of Bosnia and Herzegovina and is active in the Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina. After wining 3 titles in the Premijer League, the situation dramatically changed for NK Čelik. The club fell into great debt after many accusations of corruption within the organization. The only lasting element holding NK Čelik as a member of Premijer League of Bosnia and Herzegovina is its devoted fan base that is very active for the club at home and away games. The NK Celik fans are known as "Robijasi" and have gained the club popularitiy for their passionate support of the club. Also, the stadium which is home to NK Celik is called "Bilino Polje" and is the second largest stadium capacity wise in Bosnia and Hercegovina. The stadium held and will continue to host matches for the national team of Bosnia and Hercegovina.
Currently, as of March 18th, 2008, NK Celik is positioned at 3rd in the Premijer League behind Modrica and Siroki Brijeg.
