Nogometni klub Rudar Trbovlje (English: Rudar Trbovlje Football Club), commonly referred to as NK Rudar Trbovlje or simply Rudar, is a Slovenian football club from Trbovlje, which plays in the Regional Ljubljana League, the fourth level of the Slovenian football system. The club have a long-standing local rivalry with NK Zagorje, which is known as the Zasavje Derby.^[4]

Club history[]

History of football in Trbovlje dates back to 1922, which applies to the anniversary of the birth of football in Trbovlje, when it was founded as ŠK Zora. In the same year, the ŠK Zora aroused a lot of interest in this sport among youth working class. In 1924 the club was banned after a political combat with Orjuna. Some former members then founded DSK Svoboda, which renamed to SK Amater in 1927.

On the 50th anniversary of the club, they won the Slovenian championship for the first time. A successful period lasted until 1980, as NK Rudar won the republic league two more times between 1974 and 1979. The team was led by the football expert Zdenko Verdenik.

With the collapse of Yugoslavia and the independence of Slovenia, all Slovenian teams returned from the federal leagues. Some of the key players left the club and Rudar was eliminated from the newly established Slovenian PrvaLiga. They never returned to the first division.
