Fudbalski klub Novi Pazar (Serbian Cyrillic: Фудбалски клуб Нови Пазар) is a Serbian professional football club based in the ciry of Novi Pazar, which competes in the Serbian SuperLiga. The team plays their home games at the 6,900 capacity Novi Pazar City Stadium.
The club was formed in 1928 as FK Sandžak and has achieved its greatest successes since Serbia has become an independent country, reaching the top tier of national competition for the first time ever in 2011. Novi Pazar was granted promotion after 2010–11 Serbian First League champions BASK withdrew from the SuperLiga due to limited funds and not meeting the required stadium criteria set out by the Football Association of Serbia.
In 2019–20 Serbian First League they finished mid-table but due to the Football Association of Serbia re-structuring the Serbian SuperLiga, they were awarded a place/took the place of RFK Grafičar, a Belgrade club that had to withdraw from the Serbian SuperLiga due to limited funds and not meeting the required stadium criteria set out by the Football Association of Serbia.
Recently, the club's biggest success was finishing 3rd out of 16 teams in the 2024–25 Serbian SuperLiga, and thus securing a spot in the Conference League second qualifying round. It is the club's first ever European football appearance. Adem Ljajić, a Novi Pazar native, played a key role in the teams success in the 2024-2025 season.
