History

The club was founded in 1903 as PNIŠK (''Prvi Nogometni i Športski Klub'', translated ''First Football and Sports Club''), being one of the first to be formed in Croatia. However, since World War II, NK Zagreb has been overshadowed by several larger, more successful clubs, especially their local rival NK Dinamo Zagreb.
Among NK Zagreb's more notable players has been Ivica Olić who led the club to its first championship of the Prva HNL in 2002. Also worth of mentioning here is Joško Popović, (who played in the 1990s, and is still active in 2005) 2nd top-goalscorer ever in Prva HNL.
